A Spotlight On Music

We're Off to See the Wizard!

The Year 5 and 6 production of The Wizard of Oz was a fantastic success, showcasing brilliant acting performances and superb singing from all involved. With only three weeks of rehearsal, the children delivered a show to be proud of, complete with impressive costumes that brought the story to life. It was a lasting memory for our Year 6 pupils as they prepare to head off to secondary school. Parents and grandparents thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and special praise goes to the stage managers who did a great job with the props and lighting.  Well done to everyone who made the show such a triumph! 

The Summer Music Concert

Our recent school music concert was a joyful celebration of talent and hard work, showcasing performances from children in Years 2 to 6. With piano, guitar, cello, trumpet and ukulele pieces, as well as lively Disney songs by our confident and enthusiastic choir, Cherhill Voices, the show delighted everyone - especially the many proud parents and grandparents in attendance. The children had been preparing for months, and their dedication shone through.  For some, it was their first performance in front of an audience, while others brought experience and poise to the stage. With two wonderful performances - one for the whole school and teachers and one for families - it was a truly heartwarming event.

Live Music Assembly

Cherhill School was delighted to welcome the super talented Tony from the Music for Schools Foundation as he entertained children from Year 1 up to Year 6 with familiar melodies played on the clarinet, flute, cornet, trumpet and saxophone. 

Music Concert 

Our talented singers and musicians performed brilliantly during our annual Music Concert this week. Audiences were wowed by the range of instruments played by the children and amazed when most played their pieces from memory without a piece of music in sight! Our choir sang and danced with great enthusiasm and gusto!

Well done to all those who took part and a big thank you to all those parents who have supported their children throughout the year. 

A Professional Musician Entertainers Us All

The whole school was super excited about the Live Music Assembly today. The children listen to the recorder, the oboe and the cor anglais being played by a fabulous musician, Julie. Most children had not seen or heard these instruments from the woodwind family before. Julie spoke to the children about each instrument and about her life as a professional musician. 

We were delighted to welcome the fabulous opera singer Bethan Dudley Fryar to Cherhill on Friday. She gave a great singing workshop to our Year 3 children, they learnt some singing techniques, a couple of new songs and had lots of fun!  Thank you Bethan for coming to Cherhill School.
