Music at Milford
Our music provision is continuing to develop.
All children in Year 4 have the opportunity to learn the
violin, viola or the cello. They can also join the Clifton
Band with other children from local schools. The band meets
to practise after school on Mondays at Milford. Later in the
school year we are hoping some of these children will have
the opportunity to play with the Halle Orchestra at the Royal Concert Hall.
Strings lessons are available to children in years 5 and 6 who
wish to carry on, and we have a guitar teacher coming into school.
Lessons can be booked termly at the school office.
Mrs Fowler runs our talented school choir for children in years
4 and 5 on Tuesdays. We have already performed at the school
Harvest Festival and are looking forward to Carol Singing in
nearby Sheltered Accommodation at Christmas.
Our school has started following some of the national SingUp
programme, and many classes are having great fun learning these songs.
Last year we were able to offer several after school clubs in
music and dance, and hope to be able to offer this again soon.
On 8th July 2009 our school staged a music, art and dance
extravaganza called “Cultural Garden”. It was an exciting
outdoor show with an African Theme. Every child in the school
took part and many friends and families came to watch.
