Music Makes The World Go Round!

This morning the Press Team took interest in finding out about the Music project held at Mulberry school. The Press Team were informed that a few of the students from the music project were composing a song all about identity.

As we all know from the previous blog entries, Mulberry School for Girls is having an action packed week based on the theme of identity. In this post we will be exploring how the students at Mulberry have linked music with the theme of identity.

As the Press Team were heading towards MUO6 and MUO7, the rooms in which the students were rehearsing, the team was immensely impressed by the quality of voices which they heard.

Ms Kelly’s class wrote a song, ‘Just One and All’. This song is about being yourself and appreciating everyone's appearances and backgrounds. Ms Darvill’s class were producing their own ’Guide to Orchestra’ by Benjamin Britten.

The Press Team asked Ms Kelly why she had promoted music for theme week. Ms Kelly said, “I chose to promote music because I am a music teacher and also I feel that music is a good tool for expressing yourself. Music can show you who you are.”

A student from Ms Kelly’s class said the following about what emotions come to her when she hears music and how music helps her to express her identity: “I feel at ease, like the whole world has become peaceful, music helps me express my identity because it shows everyone who I am and what I’m good at!”

The Press Team hope that the Music project  is a success and wish them luck whenever they compose a new piece and when they are about to perform. We hope that they pull off a fantastic performance!
