Notes from the Music Room 7

This week has been Live Music Week for Shropshire Music Service which means that ensembles have been visiting local schools to perform music and teach children about a range of musical instruments. Bomere Heath welcomed the Brass and Woodwind group along with the drum kit and got to see a range of instruments, including the pbuzz, playing a range of music. If your child would like to have individual lessons on any of the instruments that Shropshire Music Service offer, then please follow the link to find out more.

Along with watching music played live, both Mrs. Kessell-Fell and Mrs. Roberson started this half term with a look towards Christmas. Choir and Music Community Group started again and are already sounding great! Well done everyone!

It’s been a lovely end to this half term with Harvest Festival on Wednesday. Thank you and well done to all children for singing their songs  so beautifully, your hard work each week was really clear to hear and Mrs. Kessel-Fell is really proud of you all.

Choir continued to enjoy singing Shotgun as well as other songs and are sounding fantastic! Rehearsals will continue after half term on Tuesdays and as always, new members are welcome.

Grinshill showed off their recorder skills by improvising melodies which most of the class performed. Stiperstones and Wrekin have continued to learn to play Jingle Bells and have been working hard to produce a clear and controlled sound. It is lovely to see the homemade cases made by children and their families for the pbuzz to go home in, although any suitable bag is also fine. Mrs. Roberson hopes you all enjoy playing your pbuzz over half term.

Music Community Group recapped some of the pieces they have learnt this half term including Star Wars Theme and 12 Bar Blues and started a Fur Elise Mash Up. Rehearsals will continue next half term, Mrs. Roberson is looking forward to teaching you some new music!

We hope you all have a restful and fun half term break.

Notes from the Music Room 5

It’s been an exciting week teaching music for Mrs. Kessel-Fell and Mrs. Roberson. Mrs. Kessel-Fell has enjoyed rehearsing your harvest songs with you and hearing you sing with such enthusiasm. She was also very pleased to welcome new members to choir. Everyone sang very well and whilst learning ‘Ol Town Road’ and ‘Shotgun’ to add to choir’s repertoire. Well done and members are always welcome!

Mrs. Roberson was very pleased to see how many pbuzz instruments would be going home soon. Any children with permission and suitable bag for it took their pbuzz home on Thursday, so hopefully you’ll have heard them in action! For the children that didn’t have a suitable bag can bring one in next week to take theirs home, either fabric or a sturdy plastic bag is fine. If you haven’t returned a permission slip and would like your child to bring the instrument home, please speak to the school office.

Grinshill, Stiperstones and Wrekin all worked hard to continue to learn to play a piece of music and Music Community Group are steadily learning ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Harry Potter, Hedwigs Theme’ as well as working as a group to improvise individual solos as part of a Blues performance. Excellent work from all involved!
