Young Voices #PowerInMe Singing Challenge

Fri 29 May 2020

On 2nd June 2020 2.30pm - you are invited along with families and children from across the world to pay tribute to all teachers by joining together to sing “The Power in Me” from the safety of your own homes.

You can register your involvement at youngvoices.co.uk/powerinme to access free learning resources for the song. More importantly - we are asking you to share this email with your parents and children to get them directly involved.

Between now and 2nd June, you are also encouraged to take part in the #PowerInMe singing challenge and to film yourselves singing the song’s lyrics “I've got the Power In Me" and post it online with the hashtag to see who responds completing the song’s chorus "You’ve got the Power in You!".

It is all explained here by our conductors David Lawrence and Francisco Núñez - here.

Before 2nd June we have provided a selection of free online rehearsals that you can watch in school or at home to prepare for the big day:

The first video starts with some of the music service team and is the start of a weekly feature on the Entrust social media sites as well as on YouTube.

If your child is interested in commencing music lessons then they will be given the opportunity to experience a sample lesson at the beginning of the school year (2020/2021). Guitar lessons are open to pupils in Years 3 to 6. Wind instrument (flute and clarinet) lessons are open to pupils in Years 4 to 6.
