A great week of Y10 presentations on ensemble music. Baroque and Classical era yesterday, The Blues today. Can't wait to see Jazz and then Musicals next week. Great job year 10! #verulamforlife #teachingmusic #eduqas #gcsemusic #musicforlife #theblues #classicalmusic

Practice makes progress! Some really good Year 9 songs coming out of the Song Writing unit and it's only week 3. Looking forward to them adding their riffs, basslines and melodies in the weeks to come #verulamforlife #teachingmusic #songwriting #year9music #practicemakesprogress

Year 7s developing their guitar and ukulele skills. Really impressed with how quickly they've picked things up. Can't wait for these final performances. So many hidden talents coming out. Remember you can use those skills in some of the music clubs! #verulamforlife #teachingmusic

Year 8s doing some excellent work on their Film Music projects. Looking forward to putting them together with the clips #musictech #verulamforlife #teachingmusic #soundtrap
