Pupils Have A Sweet New Music Suite
The new Music Suite was formally opened at the beginning of term. It is a bright, multi-purpose classroom which offers the very best in facilities, enabling pupils to learn music in a convivial atmosphere. At the heart of Music lessons is Musicfirst, is a cloud-based music teaching program. Each pupil has a Mac and piano keyboard to work from. Musicfirst offers pupils two specific programs: Focus on Sound is a vast music library full of information and tests relevant to the learning process, whilst Noteflight is a program that enables pupils from Year 7 onwards to compose their own music. Now with a larger room in which to work, pupils can also benefit from playing and learning about different musical instruments. The new Music Suite is a place where pupils can immerse themselves in music and for 40 minutes a week escape from everyday life.
