Year 4 Informal Music Concert

The 10th October saw the start of the Chandlings Prep annual informal concerts with fifteen Year 4 students performing in the Lantern Hall. These informal concerts are a wonderful opportunity for the children to show what they have been learning within their one to one lessons either in or outside of school. This was for many, their premiere performance on their instrument, in front of a supportive audience of family, friends and staff. We enjoyed renditions of We Will Rock You, Edelweiss and God Save the King.
