Music

Music at Great Linford Primary School.



At our school we believe that it is important to foster creativity and imagination in all children. This is done through a variety of ways; singing, musical composition, playing instruments,  and listening to a wide variety of music and understanding how music has developed through time.

​We also encourage the learning of an instrument to help our musical experiences and creativity. We have a choir for children to continue to develop their singing. We offer a varied musical experience to allow children to experience and make their own music through improvisation and composition.

​ If your child would be interested in specialist peripatetic lessons please contact the office.  We work with the Milton Keynes Music Hub and  Music Co Operative providing links and opportunities for our children to further develop their creative and musical skills.

Bird Day Song 2021
​'Robin Sings Reggae' for RSPB 

To celebrate bird day this year we invited families to send in a video of children singing our chosen 'Bird Day' Song - 'Robin Sings Reggae.'

Thank you for all of your entries for our Bird Day Song:
Here is just one video of the many we had received from Chestnuts Class.

​

Bird Song is beautiful to hear and is a sign that Spring is on its way.
​
Did you know?
A famous Cellist Beatrice Harrison was so in awe of the Nightingale song that she played a concert with Nightingale birds that flew into her garden in 1927.
Please watch this youtube video to find out more about this amazing performance!

We hope you enjoy our video!
