I came to the Senior School concert last night and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. It was my first senior concert as our child is still in Prep but he is also in brass group. The quality of the musicians was fantastic – but not only that, they were confident and their passion for music was obvious. I found myself smiling and engaging through the whole concert – even though our child was only in one piece!
I also love the inclusivity and approach to music I have seen – our child started trombone lessons last term, and even though he is a beginner, he has been welcomed into and are playing in the brass group. Having the approach that you start performing as soon as you start learning is wonderful – it teaches you that performing is part of playing, that you don’t have to reach a certain standard before you are ‘let loose on the parents’! And that you can do it! I can already see how this is boosting our child’s self-belief.
