Welcome to Music Club!
Children from across the school, wowed parents with their musical skills this week at Birchwood's annual Showcase event. Children played guitar, keyboard and ukulele as well as the orchestra collectively playing Hall of the Mountain King. The Choir treated the audience to three songs and parents had a sneak peek at the Year 6 leavers' performance, with three of our Year 6 children singing songs from Matilda the Musical. Well done to all the children who took part.
On Wednesday 5th July, six Year 5 children took part and played the cello in the Warwickshire Music Upbeat Concert and they were fabulous. They were playing alongside children from other schools playing the violin and recorder and they really shone. We are so proud of their bravery and their amazing performance skills and of course, their cello playing skills which were so professional!
Our amazing Birchwood choir represented our school in the Warwickshire Music Junior Choir Festival on Tuesday evening and they were fabulous! They were joined by other schools from Nuneaton and all performed a massed song at the end which had the parents beaming away!
On January 9th, Birchwood's Key Stage 2 choir attended the Young Voices concert at the Resorts World Arena! It has been three years since the last Young Voices concert, and for most of our choir, it was their first time going, and they absolutely loved it! They sang their hearts out and really enjoyed watching the Urban Stryde dancers, the beat boxers who were certainly a treat for the ears and an incredible violinist who played ‘Old Town Road’, ‘Rather Be’ and Bach’s Toccata and Fugue among other legendary pieces!
The children were so excited about their experiences that they wanted to share them for everyone to listen to so a new radio show called 'Young Voices 2023' is now available to listen to in our Birchwood Beats tab!
On June 29th 2022, schools around the world joined their voices together to sing 'Love as our guide', a rousing song with an uplifting message. We are happy to say that our school was part of this amazing day, along with 33,000 other children! Schools taking part were from USA, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Thailand and the UK to name just a few! Please enjoy watching the video by clicking on the link below where you'll be able to spot our KS2 children in the top right hand box twice throughout the song!
On Tuesday evening, 37 of our talented musicians took part in an amazing music showcase! They all wowed the audience with the skills they had learnt this year and what an array of talent! Performing were keyboard club, ukulele club, choir club and children who have been learning the guitar, drums and keyboard with Simon Belcher in school this year. We are so lucky to have so many musical children at Birchwood!
On Wednesday 29th June, some of the children from years 5 and 6 took part in an Upbeat cello concert at the Life Church in Bedworth. They played and performed fantastically in a wonderful orchestral setting.
