Rocksteady – Whole School Music Assembly – Monday 19th June

17th July 2023Iain Usher

“Wow! What an amazing assembly we have had with Rock Steady. Both staff and children performed in a rock band with great support from the audience.

We had the pleasure of inviting Rock Steady into our school to tell us about an exciting opportunity for all children, starting in September.

Rock Steady will be visiting Bede Burn every Monday to deliver in-school band lessons to children who would like to be part of a rock band. The sessions will take place during school time. The children are able to choose an instrument that they would like to play and then perform at their very own rock concert, at the end of term. How exciting!
