During the second half of last term, our Year 5 classes in Music, have been participating in a Global Juilliard Film Music Project. In their Music lessons, students explored film tones and how this supports a film composer’s intentional choices. They looked at the storyline, the characters and their journeys making initial musical choices to support these. As the project advanced students began experimenting with timbre and choices of instrumentation to help convey the genre and overall tone of the short film. Each class completed a cue sheet which was sent to Juilliard to be considered to have their work realized by a Juilliard film composer. Primary students in Nord Anglia schools across the globe participated in the challenge with only 5 classes being selected to have their submission realized by a Juilliard Film Composer. We are delighted that our Year 5 Cobalt class has been selected as one of the five classes globally and we look forward to hearing their final compositions later in May. A huge well done to all students in Year 5 for participating and congratulations to Year 5 Cobalt. We look forward to hearing your film composition.

This week in English, Year 8 shared their completed magazines in a collaborative press event. There was a lovely buzz in the classrooms, and we were very impressed with both the quality of the work produced and the professionalism with which they pitched their final products to each other and the Year 12 Muse students who came along as well.
