Music Department

The Music Department at Greenshaw has three simple aims: to facilitate the learning of a variety of different musical styles from all over the World via meaningful engagement in practical music-making, to celebrate the diverse talents of all our pupils, and to make music fun!

The Department comprises young and enthusiastic teachers who have a wealth of performance experience as musicians and is lead by Miss Claire Laurent. In addition to our full time members of staff, we have six visiting peripatetic teachers who offer instrumental tuition.

Extra Curricular Activities

During lunchtimes, students have the opportunity to take part in a Choir, which prides itself on a varied repertoire, and a Percussion group lead by Mr Doherty. Both groups performed in the Christmas Concert and will have further opportunities to perform both in and out of school in the near future.

We have also run a short African Drumming course and provided additional opportunities for our KS4 students to work on their own compositions.
