News from the Music Department 2015-<strong>2016</strong><br />
There<br />
is no dispute to the long-term<br />
benefits of studying music<br />
whether it’s for fun, or for formal qualifications.<br />
Music has always played a central role in our<br />
lives and nurturing and promoting this should be<br />
a priority. Our society, culture, the way we think<br />
and behave have been shaped by the music that<br />
we listen and are exposed to. It is for this reason<br />
the Music Department continuously seeks to<br />
encourage its students to explore, experiment and<br />
create musical performances and compositions<br />
of high quality.<br />
This year we have seen a record number of<br />
students taking individual peripatetic music<br />
lessons, with an increase of 80% from last<br />
year; this has been due to the fantastic work the<br />
teachers from Hounslow Music Service have<br />
provided and the enthusiasm and interest from<br />
the students. Learning an instrument requires<br />
commitment, dedication and perseverance and<br />
the students at <strong>Cranford</strong> never fail to live up<br />
to these expectations. Congratulations to the<br />
Piano<br />

(see photographs below).<br />
This year the Music Department staged two<br />
RSL showcase concerts, the first in October<br />
2015 and the second in March <strong>2016</strong> alongside<br />
the GCSE Music Showcase. Each concert was<br />
created to celebrate and showcase the wonderful<br />
music talent <strong>Cranford</strong> has to offer. Students from<br />
both year 10 and year 11 spent months creating,<br />
rehearsing and refining their performances, until<br />
it was of the highest quality and ready for an<br />
invited audience.<br />
Executive Headteacher Kevin Prunty commented:<br />
“This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for.<br />
When I go to other schools and look at what they<br />
put on and compare it to tonight, we’re definitely<br />
along the right lines. I remember seeing these<br />
students when they first started and they have<br />
come a long way. The quality has certainly<br />
improved”.<br />
Head of School Veronique Gerber said: “In the<br />
12 or so years I have been here, I would put<br />
this concert in the top 3. It was amazing and<br />
I’m really proud that our students have produced<br />
fantastic and high quality performances”.<br />
