Wider Opportunities Showcase

Ilford Town Hall, 9th July 2009

The Wider Opportunities program is a Government initiative that promises every Primary school child should have the opportunity to learn an instrument. This year, Year 4 have been learning to play the violin and a group of Year 4 children took part in the Wider Opportunities Showcase musical evening at Ilford Town Hall.

The evening featured children from a selection of Redbridge Primary schools playing Fifes, Violas, African Drums, Guitars and Percussion instruments.

It was a fantastic musical evening which everyone enjoyed. Our Year 4 children were superb and gave a wonderful performance of a selection of upbeat tunes and even managed to dance at the same time as playing!

Well done to the Year 4 violin players and the Redbridge Music Service Wider Opportunities teachers, Roberta Sullivan and Rebecca Kantor.
