Music is prioritised at Barnby Road Academy. Every child accesses a weekly singing session run by our pianist Peter Higgins. Year 3 children learn the recorder and Years 4 and 5 have weekly ukulele sessions.
We are very proud of our school orchestra of 30+ children that plays for a number of performances throughout the year. Barnby Road Academy has a range of ensembles and choirs:
Monday: Guitar club 12:15pm (Mr Webster)
Tuesday: Boys' choir 12:15pm, Ukulele Club 12:45pm (Mr Higgins)
Wednesday: Orchestra 8:15am, Recorder Club 12:15pm (Mrs Wyatt) Band 3:30pm (Mr Barnett)
Thursday: Chamber choir 8:15am (Mr Higgins)

Instrumental lessons are offered to Key Stage 2 children, dependent on the availability of instruments. We currently have children learning the cello, violin, trumpet, cornet, trombone, French horn, flute, saxophone, clarinet, percussion and piano.
