Good Morning Performing

Yesterday’s Good Morning Performing was our first viola sandwich, probably ever in the history of Holmewood music.  We had 2 viola players, from opposite ends of the school.  William in Year 8 performed a Grade 1 piece having been playing less than a year which goes to show that it really is never too late to start a new instrument.  They will certainly be glad of him at his next school.  Our other viola player was Leon in Year 4 who definitely has the makings of a fine player, as does Tabitha, our Year 3 violinist.  Other performers were Henry who dazzled us with some jazzy vibes on the sax and finishing up with a truly epic moment of creativity from Oliver and Tamzin who performed an original song together with Ollie on the piano and Tamzin singing!

Scholars’ Showcase Concert

This week featured our wonderful Music Scholars Showcase Concert.  We had some superb performances from our Y7 scholars, including fabulous piano playing by Samuel and Eleanor in particular, a lovely classical guitar solo from Jasper and some epic brass playing including a wonderful Year 7 brass quartet.  Our Y8 scholars surpassed themselves with their recital programs which included some very expressive violin and piano playing from Alicia who has already been awarded a scholarship at Battle Abbey, a beautiful performance on cello, voice and flute from Matilda and to finish up the evening a highly eclectic recital by Joshua who sang “Where ‘ere ye walk”, played the oboe and then closed with a fantastic pop song for which he accompanied himself on the guitar.
