We work closely with the Luton Music Service to ensure that as many students as possible are given the opportunity to learn an instrument and perform in front of an audience.
Year 7 & 8 choir meet at the start of lunch on Wednesday's. Year's 9, 10 and 11 senior choir meet after school on Wednesday's from 3pm till 3:30pm.
We enjoy performing to our friends and families and love performing a variety of music. In our latest concert, we had over 45 students performing a range of ideas from singing, training band, to a piano ensemble. The supportive atmosphere means that all students have an opportunity to perform, from beginners, to much more experienced musicians, all working together and encouraging each other.
Remote learning hasn't stopped us either, and we spent time over lockdown working with a sound engineer to record individual audio and videos, blended together to create a full virtual choir.' This was a particularly special project because we used music to bring us together, in a time when we had to stay apart.
Our older students can study for a BTEC through RSL where the students plan and perform within a live music event and apply their listening and analysis skills within both the Musical Knowledge unit and the composition unit.
We have the school choir and Band aka 'Putteridge Powerhouse'. The choir sings a variety of music, from popular music, to musicals and anyone is welcome. The Band again play a variety of modern music from Christina Perri to Queen.
We have some extremely talented musicians and singers who not only wow us in concerts at the school but also play in the Luton Youth Orchestra and sing with the Luton Youth Cantores and KRDC (Katie Read Dance Company).
