The child who are part of our drumming intervention are always keen to tell us how it makes them feel.
We now have our newly set up Music and Arts School Council which shapes and influences our school music curriculum.
Teachers talked to the children and they filled in questionnaires. This is what you said.
- Music makes me feel happy, peaceful, relaxed and excited.
- I like playing musical instruments, singing, learning about musicians and listening to music.
- I miss singing together in assemblies and Mr Froud coming in to sing with us.
- When I sing I feel famous like I'm on stage. I feel happy because it's fun.
