Teachers' comments 2014

Seeing their stories come to life with the improvisation of the quartet really took them on an adventure and made the goosebumps rise on all our arms! 

It was incredible to see the children transfixed on the orchestra with instruments many of them had never seen before. For some children who struggle with their creativity, seeing their stories come to life with the improvisation of the quartet really took them on an adventure and made the goosebumps rise on all our arms! Since the project, we have used music in our literacy lessons to help build suspense and atmosphere in our writing and many children have told me they want to play an instrument! Could you play for us every week?! -Amy Frankau, Orchard Primary SchoolWe have absolutely loved working with Apollo Music Projects. The opportunities that it has created have been invaluable and they have opened the children's eyes to something totally new. I have never seen my class so engrossed by music and to then listen to them comment on Beethovens 6th Symphony was incredible! Thank you!Catherine Sutcliffe, Rushmore Primary SchoolSince working with Apollo Music Projects my class have shown an appreciation for all new types of music, but particularly classical music pieces which they would possibly not hear anywhere else. They are now able to clearly state what they hear in the music, either discussing an emotional response or using their broadening musical vocabulary to explain what they hear. They have further developed the skills of listening and are now able to listen for enjoyment or critically discuss why musicians and composers make the choices they do for their audiences.Juliet Forsyth, Springfield Community Primary School
