Year 7 Music at St. Aidan's

Welcome to St. Aidan's from the Music Department!

There is lots going on in the St. Aidan's Music Department - We're sure that lots of you will want to take part in music in some way or other. Here's how:

Instrumental/Vocal Lessons

  • If you already play an instrument and would like to continue learning at school, we can arrange that. Just speak to your music teacher.
  • If you already play an instrument and your instrumental teacher is expecting you, your name should appear on a timetable on the main music noticeboard in the Music Block .. See your music teacher if it does not.
  • If you would like to start learning an instrument at St. Aidan's, please ask your curriculum music teacher, but please note that we have very few school instruments to loan out.

Extra-Curricular Music

Here are the ways you can be involved in music at lunchtime and after school

Junior Band Open to all woodwind, brass and percussion players, whatever standard.
Mon 12.45. Music Room 5

Symphony Orchestra Open to all string, woodwind, brass and percussion players, Grade V and above. Mon 3.45. Main Hall
Junior Orchestra Open to all strings and better woodwind and brass players. If in doubt, come along and try it! Wed 12.45. Music Block

Junior Choir Large award winning vocal group for all members of years 7 and 8, boys and girls, singing lively and cool songs! Thurs 12.40. Music Room 5

World Music Group Energetic and exciting group for all year groups. Mainly African Drumming. No experience necessary. Djembes provided! Friday 12.30 Main Hall
Aidan's Spark The junior offshoot of our school worship band, Aidan's Flame. No regular rehearsal but formed for special events

BE BRAVE AND COME ALONG TO A PRACTICE - YOU WILL BE MADE VERY WELCOME!

If you are bringing your own instrument to school, please note:

  • You can leave it in the instrument store in the Music Block (your teacher will tell you the code for the door) or keep it with you
  • Your instrument will not be covered by school insurance: you should make sure it is covered by your household insurance

For all lunchtime music groups you can obtain an early lunch pass from the teacher running the activity ... this will allow you to go straight into lunch and get to your music rehearsal on time

We are rightly proud of our music-making at St. Aidan's, and look forward to your being part of this tradition.

If you have any questions, speak to your music teacher or email: admin:staidansmusic.co.uk
