Menu RECENT NEWS HEADTEACHER'S BLOG Music EYFS KS1 KS2 Bowmansgreen is lucky enough to have two music teachers who teach music to all pupils across the school, Mr Bronstein and Mrs Street. If you would like your child to take part in private music lessons, both Mrs Street and Mr Bronstein are continuing to teach via face-to-face and remote video lessons. Please contact the school office for more information or see details at the bottom of this page. During the partial school closure, we don’t want pupils to miss out on listening to, learning about and making music. Watch and have a listen to the resources below.

Brass Instrument Lessons Max Bronstein, a trumpet player and music teacher, will be offering an amazing opportunity for children from Years 2 – 6 to have 1:1 brass instrument lessons during the school day. Lessons will begin at the commencement of the Summer Term. Children can sign up to learn: trumpet, trombone, french horn or tenor horn. There will be 10 lessons for each pupil, per term. Lessons will be scheduled on a rotational basis, so that pupils are not leaving the same lesson week in, week out. Prior to each term starting, a schedule of each pupil’s lessons will be sent to parents so that they are informed of when lessons are taking place and this will also remind pupils to bring to school their instrument/music on the day of the lesson. Parents will be billed directly by Mr. Bronstein and payments will need to be made in advance of the term commencing. Bowmansgreen will subsidise lessons for pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium. If a pupil is not in school and misses a lesson for one reason or another, the lesson fee for that particular lesson will carry over to the next batch of lessons the following term, or the fee will be refunded at the end of term, if the pupil would like to stop having lessons. Please contact Mr. Bronstein directly to enrol your child for music lessons, have questions over lesson fees or if you have any other queries about the lessons: Mob: 07961 760388 or Email: maxbronstein@icloud.com TRANSLATE English▼ SEARCH SITE Search for: DOWNLOAD APP Visit this address with your Android or Apple device: schoolsays.co.uk/bowmansgreen UPCOMING EVENTS Fri, 3rd Dec 2021 Occasional Day Fri, 10th Dec 2021 Christmas Jumper Day (or wear red) for Save the Children £1 donations Mon, 13th Dec 2021 8:00 am - FOBS Bags 2 School Collection Wed, 15th Dec 2021 12:00 pm - Whole School Christmas Lunch Thu, 16th Dec 2021 1:00 pm - Class Christmas Parties Full calendar SAFETY THINKUKNOW.CO.UK QUICK LINKS Home Recent News Newsletter Archive Calendar Contact GET IN TOUCH Tel: 01727 767772 Fax: 01727 767770 Email: admin@bowmansgreen.herts.sch.uk Bowmansgreen Primary School Telford Road, London Colney, Hertfordshire, AL2 1PH View map KEEP UP-TO-DATE!
