Ashlands Primary School MENU Music at Ashlands Music is very much part of the children's school day right from joining us in nursery. There are music and songs in the classroom for the younger children and as they progress through the school weekly singing assemblies and music within the curriculum. We put on shows and performances throughout the year for parents to come and watch and there is a a weekly lunchtime choir for children in Key Stage 2 as well as an after school African Drumming Club. Razzmatazz Razzmatazz is the school orchestra and it meets on a Friday morning at 8.30am in the hall. Razzmatazz is an orchestra for everyone. You can join whether or not you have instrument lessons and you can borrow school instruments. We let children choose whether to read music or work music out by ear as we teach them how to become responsive members of a musical group. Razzmatazz depends on its adult volunteers, and some of our most inspirational volunteers are adults who are learning alongside their children: so please pop in on a Friday morning if you would like to join them.
