It is with sadness that we acknowledge the death of jazz musician, composer, producer and all round musical genius Quincy Jones. A true giant, his work has touched millions across 7 decades and left an indelible mark on the music world. #RIPQuincyJones

Learning a musical instrument isn't just about the notes; it's about fostering a lifetime of expression and connection! Take up lessons & you'll find your own way to express yourself. Join an ensemble & build lasting connections. #MusicIsForLife mmf.org.uk

It's amazing how our brains retain skills from long ago! Even after years, muscle memory can bring back those old tunes. Have you picked up an instrument or skill after a long break? Share your experience! #MusicEd

At @mertonmusic, we believe that music in schools isn’t just a subject…it’s the heartbeat that every child deserves, opening doors to a world of joy, creativity and connection. Lovely to see the @BenedictAcad children finding it out for themselves. 🎶 #MusicEd

This week the children have loved resuming their whole-class music sessions! Today children in Key Stage 1 resumed their work as part of the Mini Musicians pilot study with @mertonmusic. Also starting this week was our R-6 band club, where the children produced their first piece!
