Music is such an important part of everyone’s daily lives. Here at Wyvern we believe that it’s a powerful and unique form of communication enriching and enhancing the lives of everyone that it touches. It can change the way in which we feel, think and act. How often does music trigger a memory or emotion?
Music at Wyvern give everyone a level playing field on which to work together. Pupils learn to turn-take, communicate, gain confidence, and explore and listen to various instruments and musical genres.
Music at Wyvern has come on in leaps and bounds this year, with Open Orchestra sessions running weekly and proving popular among students across the school. Some students have formed super groups and worked on ensemble pieces to perform at the end of term, and others have performed solo pieces with great success. Gary Pickard, funded by Dorset Music Hub, has helped run these sessions, and engaged with the pupils fantastically.
