Over the past month, year 9 music students have worked with an external organisation as part of their curriculum.
During the programme of workshops, students worked with professional musicians from Inclusic, a subsidiary of The Wolverhampton Music Service, to learn how to play a popular song as a band. Students learnt how to play a new instrument and developed new skills building confidence to perform in front of each other.
The programme culminated in a live performance at Newhampton Arts Centre, where students performed on stage with professional lighting and sound.
Music Teacher, Mr Evans, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of our students. They were determined in their rehearsal in the weeks leading up to the gig. On the day, all students performed with confidence and flair. For most, this was their first experience of performing on a professional stage. The nerves quickly subsided, and they left the venue wanting to do it all over again. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all staff from Inclusic for their inspirational teaching.’
