"I have enjoyed Music and have loved having the freedom to chose the Music I get to play on my 2 instruments. The choice of pieces is amazing. You can play Disney songs or pop and rock music which is really rewarding."
"I used to think that you could only do Music in S3 if you played an instrument in the Orchestra or school band. However I play the glockenspiel and ukulele and have done well so far in all my assessments. The 'Understanding Music' (listening and identifying music concepts) has been interesting as you listen to a wide range of different styles of music, learning new words, some of which are in Italian."
"Music has always been my passion and I find it very enjoyable. I play the flute and keyboard and have been supported by my teachers to achieve my full potential. The Music department is a friendly environment where I always feel happy."
