Music Highlights
What Lyng pupils think about Music:
“Singing helps me process feelings and become calm”, which showcases how our music provision can help the whole child, but also how it progresses the individual musicianship, as children have “aspirations to take singing to a higher level” and feel they “like learning technical music skills”.

What Lyng parents think about Music:
Parents and Carers have regular opportunities to watch their child’s musical performances, such as Carols on the Playground, Rocksteady concerts and Young Voices.
Proud parents have expressed how Lyng’s Music provision enhances their musical skills and their personal growth, “My child has grown in confidence, their family in other countries are so proud of them, as are we. What wonderful experiences” and that our music is, “So much fun and performances are as equally amazing”.
