Corbet School Band Performance
We were lucky enough to have several members of the Corbet band come and perform for us this morning. All of our children loved the opportunity to experience the ‘live’ element of music and the feedback from them since has been so positive and lovely to hear.
The performance included a solo singer, the clarinet, the flute and a rock band (which was a huge hit)!
Videos and pictures to follow next week.
Hopefully this will inspire some of our young children to consider playing an instrument. We offer keyboard, guitar and drum lessons at school so please do pop in to the office to find out more information if this is something you think your child might like.
Our school choir also have several performances scheduled for the month of December (a letter will be sent home in the coming weeks outlining the dates).
