We are very privileged at Chowbent Primary School to have the opportunity to take part in the Wider Opportunities Programme which enables children in Year 4 to access music tuition for a year led by specialist musicians at Wigan Music Service.
Our Year 4 children have been learning how to play African drums and percussion instruments and have developed skills in reading music, rhythm, listening and appreciation, composition and singing, along with technical mastery of their instrument.
Our school have funded the Wider Opportunities Programme for many years now and we have seen a significant rise in self confidence, self control and enjoyment through the years as the children learn what it takes to become a musician.
We regularly invite parents into school to watch concerts to showcase what all of our Year 4 children have learnt over the year. We have some very talented musicians in our school!
