Cornwall has a deep and long-standing relationship with the sea and water. From the rugged coastline and pristine beaches to the bustling ports and historic harbours, Cornwall's rich maritime heritage is evident in every aspect of our culture and daily life.
It is no wonder that water has become the central theme for our students' music project this school year.
Through exploring the sounds and rhythms of the sea, rivers, and rain, our students are discovering the unique musical expressions that water can inspire. This theme not only connects our students to the local environment and community but also encourages them to think about the universal importance of water and its role in our world.
By embracing the theme of water music, our students are developing their musical skills while also gaining a deeper appreciation for the beauty and power of the natural world.
