Each class is taught music and also takes part in a singing session every week.  We have a large variety of percussion instruments, both pitched and non-pitched, which all the children play regularly during their lessons.  Music is frequently part of class assemblies and also special assemblies such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Every child takes part in a musical production each year, Foundation stage and Years 1 and 2 at Christmas and Years 3 and 4 during March.In Years 3 and 4, children have the opportunity to learn to play the recorder and sing in a choir club.  For those parents who wish to and whose children are interested, there is also a provision for instrumental lessons through the Bedfordshire Music Service.  (These particular lessons are charged for by the Music Service).  Instruments taught include violin, cello, guitar, piano, flute and brass instruments.We invite outside performers into school from time to time to give the children an opportunity to hear a live performance.  Regular visitors include teachers from the Bedfordshire Music Service playing in their instrumental groups, and the Bedfordshire Youth Opera.
