YOUNG musicians at Willow Wood Nursery and community Primary School are making outstanding progress.
All year 5 pupils have been learning how to play a musical instrument with tuition from specialist music teachers Mel Whyle and Lucy Bracegirdle.
Pupils had the choice of a woodwind or brass instrument.
The year 5 band now has a range of instruments including the clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and trombone.
Deputy headteacher Jan Kay said: “We are always looking for opportunities to provide children with wider curriculum opportunities and the children have made outstanding progress learning a new instrument.”
After weeks of dedication, practice and tuition, their first performance in front of an audience of their parents, carers and peers is on March 5.

Music leader Katherine Mrs Millar said: "I have been most impressed with the children’s engagement and growing confidence in this initiative, which sees every child at Willow Wood having the valuable opportunity to learn a musical instrument on their journey through primary education.”
