7UP Music Project

The year 7’s have embarked on a really exciting project with James Redwood, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Brent Music Service that is taking place during the Summer term.
Students attended launch events on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th April which involved starting to learn the project song and body percussion and listening to an octet of musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

James Redwood returned to school with some of the musicians on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th April to lead workshops with 6 of the year 7 forms. The project has a theme of Romeo and Juliet/West Side Story. During the project students will learn and perform the project song Star crossed lovers, body percussion for the piece Mambo Time and each class will undertake a creative composition project. The classes will perform with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra musicians later on in the term.

Brent Makes Music

On the evening of Wednesday 6th July a number of current and former students from Kingsbury High joined students from across Brent to take part in ‘Brent Makes Music’ at Wembley Arena.

The concert included musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a choir of over 1000 students. Kingsbury High School students formed part of a 50 piece guitar ensemble and also featured in the Brent Rock School Band. This was a fantastic experience for the students and is the product of an ongoing relationship with the Brent Music Service.
