Welcome to Music@HCC!!
Music is taught by one teacher responsible for music throughout KS3 & KS4. Miss Iles is a string and vocal specialist and when she's not teaching she can usually be heard singing with the DTRC (Devon Teachers Rock Choir) or playing with various orchestras such as the North Devon Sinfonia based at West Buckland College (winners of the BBC series 'Altogether Now - The Great Orchestra Challenge' which was designed to find Britain's most inspirational amateur orchestra).
Walking into a modern music room now is a very different experience to what you would have experienced 20 years ago. As a teacher you want to give the children something more to experience; whether its playing an Indonesian Gamelan, creating rhythmic excitement through African Djembe or learning how to work within in pop band, gaining the experience of working as a live musician developing individual instrumental and ensemble skills. Fortunately music has been well funded at Holsworthy in previous years which has enabled the purchase of new equipment including computers for ICT project based work.
