Chilcote Violin and Viola concert

On Tuesday, over 40 Chilcote violin and viola players performed in a concert for their families, playing pieces they have learned over the last term at school. They all played extremely well in their groups and some pupils also played solos confidently.

It was lovely to see the good progress made by the pupils since the beginning of the year and to witness the teamwork in all of the group performances.
Well done to you all and to Miss Hobbs who has taught and supported you so positively all year.

Thank you very much to all of our families too for the support you give at home-and to Miss Hobbs for all her hard work this academic year.

Unfortunately, not all groups are pictured here as the ipad failed to record the last few performances correctly. Watch this space for  a further blog to show their work too.

Chilcote Christmas concert

On Tuesday 17th December, our school gathered together to enjoy listening to our school orchestra, string chamber group and brass band. Some children also played solo or group performances and our new string players played for us- a great achievement as they have only been playing since September.
Well done everyone on your super performances, all your practice this term was worth it as we all enjoyed listening to your high quality playing.
A big thank you also to Mr Fisher- our fantastic brass teacher and Miss Hobbs- our amazing string teacher- and conductor of the orchestra and string chamber group.

Visit from the Music Service String Group

On Friday 6th September, Years 1-6 enjoyed a visit and performance from 7 string teachers from the Birmingham  Music Service. They played a variety of different styles of music and talked to us about why they enjoyed playing their particular instruments. 

Nicholas helped them play one particular piece by playing a steady beat for them to play along with. Well done Nicholas.

It was very inspiring and enjoyable. Thank you very much to Miss Hobbs and Mrs Mulenga- our string teachers, for organising such a super concert. 

Chilcote Summer concerts

On Monday 20th May and Tuesday 21st May, over 120 children performed at our two annual Summer concerts. Both were well attended by large enthusiastic audiences and all the children performed confidently, showcasing their hard work over the past few months to their family and friends.
We are very proud of all our performers and would like to thank them for their hard work and enthusiasm, providing us with two very enjoyable evenings.
Thank you very much to our talented peripataetic music service teachers who have taught and encouraged the children all year. Our children have made great progress, through the hard work of Mrs Mulenga, Mr Fisher, Miss Hobbs, Mr Chamberlain and Mr Singh.
