Thank you for joining us. Final word from Y7-9 Strings: “It was really fun and I loved sharing the festive spirit with my friends through music“ (Crystal). Happy Christmas from us all 🎄

@shskmusic is an experience that is impossible to sum up. Throwing myself in 7 yrs ago was the best decision as I know the Music Dept and musicians will always be there for me. I have met some of the best people whilst doing something I love, it is the best 🎶- Claudia

We’re really lucky to have a good spread of players over all the string instruments in our bubble to give a balanced orchestral sound given the restrictions of Covid. Susanna

Having practised our parts, we all gathered together to record The Christmas Song. It was fun to play with new people on such a classic piece. I hope you feel as festive as we did as you listen to our music! Jemima

My name is Daisy and being new to @shskmusic this year I’ve found getting involved in music groups to be a really great way of meeting new people and making friends!

For Frosty it was really fun working with the other year 8 violins and violas and seeing everyone playing together was great. At @shskmusic I have had so many different opportunities to play with others and I have learnt so much in the process. Rose

I have found playing Pirates of the Caribbean challenging but exciting. It has really helped me connect with my friends playing alongside me. Saidee

I think that music is a way to bring everyone together, especially in these times. Anna

As one of our members had a broken finger, our usual string quartet was down to three. Nevertheless, it was very fun to record White Christmas, the title piece from my favourite Christmas film. Merry Christmas! Eleanor

I have loved playing in this cello trio. This Christmas music feels more important than ever. It reminds me of more normal times. Sending a recording of my music to grandparents makes us feel close even though we can’t be together. Emma

[SHSK Strings @SHSKStrings]

This song is about dancing around a beautiful Christmas tree - as if the tree is being decorated by each instrument. The atmosphere is so jolly - through music we share happiness. At @shskmusic we can explore interests and develop skills, diving into a whole new world. Isabella
