Creativity at Winston

Good News for Music

EMI Music Sound Foundation have made a grant of £750 to the school to purchase instruments to enable the school to purchase some hand chimes.  Groups of students can then be introduced to music making in a group, learning to read music, team work and the the enjoyment of creating a performance for others to appreciate.  I look forward to hearing the first group at the summer concert.

The Primary Music Concert

Winston musicians were able to visit St Johns Primary School on Thursday to perform to Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. 
Our students were fantastic and all performed really well. Taking part were the Orchestra, Choir, Session Band, Keyboard Group, Percussion Group and Wind Quintet. The Y3-6 students from St John’s loved it and they are really keen to do more with us; first they will join us on our Year 6 Music Day and secondly they are going to come over and join in with our Summer Concert in July, with their school choir.

Sorry but sadly I have had to removed the pictures.

Thank you to Mr Drake, Mrs Davidson, Mrs Taylor and Mrs Roddan for organising and supporting this activity.

Music Recital

On the same day as the performance at St John's Primary School, Mr Drake also organised a recital for our GCSE and Year 9 students.  They each performed  a piece of their choice, therefore, we were able to experience a very diverse range of music.  It is clear that we have a number of very talented young people in our school, with some who write as well as perform their own compositions.  You will be able to hear the performances if you log onto Radio Woking via our school website at 6.00pm this weekend, when the recital will be broadcast. below are just a few of the students who took part in the evening.  Congratulations to everyone, it proved to be a most enjoyable event.
