Quire in Education
Looking for a different musical experience for your school? How about broadening their horizons – literally!
Quire is Colchester’s own community world music choir, performing songs from a wide range of cultures around the world. We can bring this multi-cultural experience to your school – Professor Bill Tamblyn, Quire’s Musical Director, together with members of Quire, can spend a day working with your pupils on a mix of rounds and other songs, accompanied by exciting percussion rhythms and simple movements. Workshops, which cost £300 per day, can be tailored to suit your schools needs.
Here are some comments from pupils who enjoyed Quire in Education at Heathlands C of E Primary School last Spring.
“When Quire came to visit I really enjoyed singing with everyone, we sounded great!”
” I loved the dance the 8 boys did, it was fun!”
” When Quire came to visit, I really enjoyed all the songs. Some people even played instruments! I learnt you sing a lot better when you smile.”
“All the songs were fun to sing. I learnt how to dance African like. We learnt to keep a steady rhythm. My favourite song was ‘Hey Mr Miller’.”
