Notes from the Music Room 13

The music room has been very busy this week, with Mrs. Kessel-Fell teaching music links to class topics. Pimhill are learning about the Islands of the world and their cultures and music. Haughmond are enjoying holidays and sounds of the sea. Grinshill are studying the music of USA, Stiperstones are exploring the music of Eastern Europe and Wrekin are discovering the Music of the Mayan culture. Please ask your children to tell you what exciting things they’ve learnt about. 

Last term was Mrs. Alston’s last term teaching at Bomere Heath due to her expanding teaching commitments, however she has left with fond memories of the dedicated pupils she taught and their excellent performances at the end of each term. Taking over from Mrs. Alston is Mr. Morris, who is an experienced piano teacher and clarinetist. He has recently moved to Shropshire and is settling into teaching in this area. If you are interested in learning to play the piano, Mr. Morris has availability and would be pleased to teach more Bomere Heath pupils. Please contact Shropshire Music Service for more information.  

Mrs. Roberson continued to work with classes on their composition challenge for this term. Each class continued to learn how to read pitch and rhythm, composing short melodies using particular notes. Stiperstones and Wrekin also demonstrated dynamics on their pbuzz whilst playing their composed melodies. The challenge will continue next week!

Choir and Music Community Group are starting again next week. Mrs. Kessel-Fell and Mrs. Roberson are looking forward to seeing some existing members and hopefully new members too. Please see Mrs. Winwood to sign up for either club.
