Last week saw some new playing taking place as our string group featuring musicians from Years 7 to 10 met for the first time.

After receiving a grant from Resonate Music Hub to support music across Key Stages, students have been selected for their interest and aptitude in music.

Abigail, a more experienced Cello player from Year 9, enjoyed supporting younger members in their first taster session showing them how to hold the instrument and bow correctly and identifying the names of strings.

The students had so much fun in their initial lesson and will be starting the new 'modulo series' of tuition in coming weeks with their fantastic string teacher Mrs Wood. One student, Layel, commented, "it was amazing... I loved it!"
