Y10 GCSE Music students have been taking part in the 'We Compose' project:

Over the past few months the students have been to see musicians from 'Music in the Round' perform pieces written for a clarinet quintet at the Crucible Theatre.

They have then worked with professional composer Martin Berger to develop their own compositions. The final event was an amazing opportunity for students to hear their own work performed live by the ensemble and to work with the musicians to develop their pieces. 🎼
