Summer Music Concerts: July 2023

At Frome Valley First School, we place a lot of emphasis on children learning to play musical instruments, particularly tuned musical instruments. 

Each class in the school learns to play a tuned instrument during the academic year. 

Year 1: learn to play boomwhackers

Year 2: learn to play the xylophone

Year 3: learn to play the recorder and have Dorset Music Service musicianship lessons for 10 weeks (usually Samba lessons)

Year 4: learn to play the ukelele

At the end of the academic year, there were a range of short concerts for parents to attend where the children performed the skills they had learnt over the year. This included: a joint Year 1&2 boomwhacker and xylophone concert; a Year 3 Samba concert and a Year 4 ukelele concert.

Many thanks to Mrs Hunter (who leads music in our school) for arranging all these concerts.

Well done to all the children for their performances.
