Music

We provide access to musical instrument tuition through the Hillingdon Music Service.  Currently a full range of orchestra instruments are offered with upper strings being Wednesday mornings, brass on Wednesday afternoons, lower strings on Thursday mornings and woodwind on Thursday afternoons.  Children start in Year 4 and due to demand only children already learning an instrument who join the school in Years 5 & 6 can be accommodated in the teaching programme. Parents will be informed early in Year 4 of the choices available.

Orchestra - this is for any child who plays an orchestra instrument in Years 5 and 6 and any younger children who has been learning for a year.  It takes place between 3.25 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon.  All children who learn an instrument through the Hillingdon Music Service are expected to take part.  Currently over 60 children are members of the orchestra.  It gives at least two concerts a year and smaller groups drawn from it may be involved in other musical events. - contact Miss Wharton
