♫ Musician of the Month ♫

As pupils come in and out of collective worship at Bosbury, they have the opportunity to listen to a variety of different pieces of music.

Through this, the children will learn about different composers and musicians, focusing on one artist or band per month, with the piece of music changing each week.

Pupils will therefore listen to four pieces of music by the same composer or musician, enabling them to listen closely to the similarities and differences in a variety of pieces from the same artist. We hope that children (and parents!) find out something new, as well as enjoying and discovering some new and different styles of music!

Our Musician of the Month for February is the Pakistani singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and musical director Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948 - 1997).

Regarded as being one of the most influential figures in South Asian music, NFAK as he was more popularly known was a master of Hindustani classical music, widely credited with introducing qawwali music to worldwide audiences.
