🎹 Learning the Keys This Half Term 🎶

This half term, pupils have been developing their keyboard skills, focusing on improving their ability to read notes on the stave and learning correct hand positioning. These foundations are helping to build confidence and accuracy as they progress in their playing.

Some pupils have already begun learning well-known pieces such as Für Elise and Moonlight Sonata, while others have been exploring performances based on their own musical interests. This balance has allowed learners to stay motivated while developing key musical skills.

A range of approaches have been used throughout lessons, including reading musical notation, playing by ear and following interest-based tutorials, such as YouTube guides. This has helped ensure lessons are engaging, accessible and tailored to each pupil’s learning style.

It has been fantastic to see the progress pupils have made this half term, alongside their growing enthusiasm and confidence in music.
