Airedale Junior School Choirs:
We now have two choirs in school, one for upper school with 35 members and one for lower school with 25 members. The choirs are led by Mrs Molson with support from Mrs Ellis and Mrs. Before the pandemic we performed at Holy Cross Church, a local care home and at Sheffield arena for Young Voices. We are very much looking forward to getting back to singing soon, especially for Young Voices 2022.
Music in Ghana
During Mrs Barnes and Miss Ambler's visit to Ghana, in 2019, they were lucky enough to experience a wide range of African music! Music in Ghana is used for a variety of different reasons, for example, when celebrating, when worshipping or when getting ready for a football match! They also learnt that in Ghanaian history special drums were used that sounded like roaring animals so enemies were scared away!
