Year 12 Summer Work

Hi dudes,

Click here for Ms Doan's summer work.

Click here for Mr Guinane's summer work.

 Miss Stothard's work:

 Compose a piece of music that lasts between 1:30 - 2 mins. This piece can be in any style or genre but must include your main instrument in your scoring. You may include as many additional instruments or voices as you wish. It can be submitted as a recording, staff notation, tab or a detailed commentary. Be creative!

 Any questions, tweet @BeaumontMusic or email Beaumont.Music@beaumont.herts.sch.uk.

 Have a wonderful, and musical, summer break.

 See you all in September. Can't wait.

Every day this month, open a door to our Advent Calendar and listen to a track chosen by Mr Guinane, Ms Doan or Mr Burrett.

Wishing you a wonderful lead up to Christmas.
Mr G, Ms D and Mr B.

My day in the hills
Has come to an end, I know.
A star has come out
To tell me it's time to go.
But deep in the dark green shadows,
There are voices that urge me to stay.
So I pause and I wait and I listen,
For one more sound,
For one more lovely thing
That the hills might say!
The hills are alive
With the sound of music,
With songs they have sung,
For a thousand years.
The hills fill my …
