Musician of the Month

New for this school year, as pupils come in and out of collective worship, they will have the opportunity to listen to a variety of different pieces of music. 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.

Therefore, pupils will 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 first Musician of the Month for the new 2024/25 academic year is none other than one of the most innovative and original singer-songwriters of all time - the iconic David Bowie. 

Born in London in 1947, Bowie is widely regarded as being one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, particularly during the 1970s with a career marked by several reinventions earning him the Chameleon of Rock, with striking visual presentations in his musical performances.

Sadly passing away back in 2016, he remains one of the greatest-selling musicians of all time, having sold over 100 million records worldwide and in 2022 he was also declared the best-selling vinyl artist so far this century.
