Musicians rock the stage with original song

Budding rock stars of the future showcased their talents on stage as part of a musical event.

Music students worked with Rock School Music as part of their Key Stage 3 curriculum.

During the programme of workshops, students worked with musicians from Rock School Music on an original composition.

They experienced being part of a band, learning a new instrument/developing their skills on their own instrument and building confidence to perform in front of each other.

The programme culminated in a live performance at Newhampton Arts Centre, along with other young musicians from across Wolverhampton, in front of relatives.

Music Teacher, Mrs A Scott, said: “These are valuable skillsfor students develop over the year if they are thinking fortaking GCSE music.

“For some students, the performance at Newhampton was the first time they have ever performed on stage.

“Highfields was the only school to write and perform their own original song, which is a great achievement for all of the students that took part.

“They all worked well in theirgroups and rehearsed prior to the showcase. I’m so proud of all the 28 students that took part and hope they will continue writing music together.”
