"Just a short thank you note. It has been a wonderful session. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The children enjoyed it too, which is more to the point. They took part, and because it was well structured, they were able to work within their own ability and be part of the 'orchestra' at the same time".

Kingston Youth Music Festival,  Rose Theatre, Kingston  2011, 2010 & 2009

This is the third year we've been invited to put on a show as part of the Kingston Youth Music Festival. 55 children from years 5 & 6 at Robin Hood School put on a fantastic live contemporary drumming and singing performance.  We developed the show in 5 weekly sessions, and the children gained the tools to compose, direct and manage the performance by themselves.

The audience (around 800 people) participates with the performers, using techniques such as call and response. Judging by the cheers and clapping, everyone enjoys the shows immensely!  




  





Robin Hood School    Summer Show

This year's performances saw years 3 & 4 devising their own show, including cheer leading, and lots of great ideas. Year 5 performed a Samba Reggae piece, while year 6 thumped out some Ragga rhythms! 
We had the whole school, teachers and parents as our awestruck audience.
It was an inspiring occasion!
