Our Year 1 children have had some special visitors in music assembly, with some fantastic performances by musicians from Years 5 and 6. They have heard trumpets and violins and will no doubt hear some more instruments next month. Lots of the children are feeling inspired to start learning an instrument as well. Do you recognise any of these pieces? Which one do you like best, and why? Which instrument would you like to try? Thanks to our talented performers: Elio, Maliyah, Naher, Nadaysha, Paige, Kiyah, Mernya and Matej.
Year 1 had to have a go at clapping along with this Sword Dance. Do you think they are good at keeping with the beat?

Luca popped into the music room to play a tune he just learnt on the piano. Well done, Luca - keep it up.
Autumn 2021
It is so wonderful to be back in bigger groups to share music again. Thanks to Joshua and Tamar from Y6 who kicked off this year's instrumental performances with their beautiful music in Tuesday's assembly. The children learnt about the different woodwind instruments they can learn at Queensbridge and then Tamar played Hot Cross Buns and Oats and Beans on the flute, and Joshua played Frère Jaques and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the clarinet. They are accompanied by their tutor, Mr McChesney. How do they play their instruments to make a sound? How do the instruments sound different?

Thames Festival Project - September 2015
Children in Y6 class took part in the Mayor's Thames Festival as part of the Kids Choir. Under the direction of the National Youth Choir's Dominic Peckham, they performed a selection of songs from around the world. At school and in rehearsals with Dominic, the children learnt different riffs for each song and joined hundreds of children from other London schools for the final performance in the Scoop. Watch the video below to hear the songs and check out the amazing sound!
