Music & Concerts
Here at Longstone music is really important to us. The children are taught music from the age of 4 by our specialist music teacher, Mrs Durkin. We also have a music room in which peripatetic teachers work every day of the week, teaching brass, piano, woodwind, strings, singing, guitar and percussion.
We have a very busy choir who perform regularly both in and and out school. In addition to this we have ukelele clubs, a school orchestra, a string ensemble and three recorder groups.
Through many different activities we aim to:
· Foster a life-long love of music and musical expression.
· Experience a range of instruments and styles of music.
· Know how music is composed and written down.
· Develop the skills of performing, composing and appreciating music.

Recorder Consort's winning performance for Buxton Music Festival 2016.
Once again we are very proud of the children's musical talents. Longstone school choir, recorder consort and orchestra were winners in all three classes. Over 60 of our children also competed in instrumental & poetry classes many of them being award 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. A massive well done to all and many thanks to Mrs Kornas (piano teacher) and Miss Emma Hopkins (vocal teacher).
A winning performance at Choir Of The Year by some of our pupils who attend Perfect Pitch Choir.
Class 4 have been studying Edward Greig's Hall Of The Mountain King, which has inspired them to create this piece of music.
We were very proud of all our children who sang with Perfect Pitch Choir in the Barnardo's finals 2016 at the Royal Festival Hall, London. A big thank you to our vocal teacher, Miss Emma Hopkins for all her hard work.
