‘A Stepping Stone into the Future’

Music in Action

 2024 / 25

Choir

We welcome everyone at West Denton Primary to join the school choir, we even have some of our staff that take part. We enjoy celebrating our love and passion for singing on a weekly basis throughout the whole school year. The choir is a great place to build a sense of belonging and community.

Grainger Market

The children in the choir had a fabulous time performing their favourite Christmas songs for customers of the Grainger Market in Newcastle. From 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' to Wham's 'Last Christmas' our audience was very impressed. 

Rock Steady

Rock Steady offer our children fantastic opportunities to learn an instrument. The children then perform for family and their friends in school every term as part of a rock band. Please contact the school for more information if your child is interested in taking part.

Christmas Nativity

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The children and staff dedicate a lot of time and hard work into putting together some wonderful Christmas productions for families and friends to enjoy. It certainly helps us get into the festive spirit. The children develop many skills taking part in our school Nativity's such as listening, building confidence and working as an ensemble whilst having great fun.

 Whole School Pudding Chare Performance

The children were treated to a performance by The Pudding Chare Music Group. It was a great opportunity for the children to hear the sound that some unfamiliar instruments make. The children had time to listen and appraise each composition.

                          Keyboard Tuition 

This year we have began to offer children weekly keyboard tuition. The children have so much fun playing and hearing new sounds that they can make with the keyboard. During the lessons the children also have some time to compose their own tunes. If your child is interested in learning the keyboard please contact the school.

The children in Phase 1 used the Djembe Drums to retell a story of a big elephant who was scared of a little mouse. The children used their drumming talents to make different noises with the drums to symbolise the animals footsteps.
