Welcome to Moss Hey school choir,

Intent

The purpose of our school choir is to provide a space for children to develop their singing and musical skills, and to have fun. We also aim to build on children's confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

Benefits of school choirs

Develop skills: Choirs help children develop their singing voice, music literacy, and performance skills.
Build confidence: Choirs help children develop confidence and poise.
Improve health and happiness: Singing can improve students' sense of happiness and wellbeing.
Make friends: Choirs are a great way for children to make friends and build relationships with others who share their interest in music.
Learn teamwork: Choirs teach children the importance of teamwork and cooperation.

Activities

Throughout the year the choir will participate in various concerts both in and outside of school. With the first concert taking place in Stockport's very own Town Hall. Other performances and shows will take place within school. Such as Christmas performances, celebration assemblies and any opportunities to showcase our skills throughout the year.

The children will be exposed to a multitude of musical genres, with the opportunity to express themselves through song and performance. We will focus on learning new songs each term, with an aim to perform these songs to both school and families, where possible.

Communication

Any relevant information needed for home use will be uploaded to the Choir Class Dojo page. With any audio files, lyrics, links and documents being available via the school website or through Class Dojo.

We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead and cannot wait to share songs and performances we create as a team.

Kind regards,

Mr. Neill

Autumn song choices

We will be looking into a few songs to start the choir in Autumn. Focusing on positive themes linking with growth and believing in ourselves.

Our first two songs are; 'Shooting Star', by Owl City and 'Good things grow', from the latest Snow White movie.

Please ensure your child uses the backing tracks provided below, as they have been altered to enable children to sing in a lower/higher key. Some of the lyrics have also been changed in the Snow White track.

Thank you,

Mr Neill.
