Dear Parents/Carers,
RE: Groove School Update
Welcome to a new musical year at Kelvin Grove!
We would like to let you know all about Groove School – a Music School led by our music specialist, Mr Glenn.
Groove School is two hours of professional music tuition each week for just £8.00 per session / £80 per term. For pupils eligible for free school meals (means tested) a reduced rate may be offered.
It is the perfect opportunity for your child to play a musical instrument – either the guitar or the flute/fife. Your child will learn how to become a successful musician, how to perform in public and how to write and arrange their own digital music.
They will also take part in Samba Band, learning the rudiments of rhythm, team work and most important of all, how to listen and be a part of a performing team of musicians.
Groove School takes place on Thursdays after school from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm (each term runs for 10 weeks during autumn / spring / summer terms). The children will perform to their families at the end of every term. They will also perform at the KG Summer Fair.
Learning to play an instrument takes time and we find that children who practise serval times a week make incredible progress. Your commitment to supporting your child to practise is key.
Children who practise regularly collect signatures from their parents and family adults, to verify that they are practising. They are then rewarded each week with a visit to the Table of Dreams where they choose a small prize as a reward for their hard work.
We really hope that this is something that will interest you and your child/ren.
Places are limited so please fill in the application as soon as possible as we will be allocating places early next week!
Yours sincerely,
Felix Glenn
