Olly from 'The Beat Goes On' came to school and gave each class a workshop on using body percussion and Boomwhackers. In our school cupboard we had several sets of Boomwhackers; plastic tubes tuned to the notes of the C major scale. Now we've had Olly work with every single child, the Boomwhackers are often out at playtimes giving children the opportunity to express themselves musically with their friends.

Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. We aim to give our children a high-quality music education that will engage and inspire their love of music and their talent as musicians and increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As our children progress, they will develop their engagement and skills with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen to a wide range of quality music from many different styles and periods.
Children at Cookham Rise will:
perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles, and traditions
learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology to produce, record and edit music.
understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions of pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and musical notations.
In addition to classroom music lessons, children enjoy a weekly phase singing lesson. Children have the opportunity to learn instruments from peripatetic teachers and the school choir sings at school events and in the community.
