Music

At Daiglen, we want children to experience the power and expressive qualities of music and to find satisfaction and fulfilment in both personal and group activities. Pupils enjoy music throughout their school life here. All pupils have weekly music lessons with the specialist teacher and are given the opportunity to learn instruments including drums, recorder, guitar, piano and violin. Regular concerts are organised in the school and whole school dramatic productions and musical performances are arranged for parents. The school choir leads singing in assembly and performs for the public. Children perform regularly at local as well as national venues such as the Albert Hall. The choir also sings carols within the community at Christmas, both for the elderly residents of a local nursing home and at sheltered accommodation in Wanstead. Music workshops with professional musicians are experienced annually.
 

The learning of music, whether singing or playing, not only gives pleasure, satisfaction and a sense of achievement, but the discipline required also assists in raising standards of learning generally.
