Dear Parents,
I am delighted to be teaching music within a diverse, multi-ethnic and international school community.
Music is a universal language that builds children’s sense of identity, culture, confidence and creativity; among many other known benefits.
Here at Anne Hill, music is made accessible for all children, at all levels.
Each child gets to experience learning:
Music is a part of life here at Anne Hill and so we invite parents on the first Friday of every month to attend the Anne Hill Singing Assemblies.
I look forward to seeing you all there!
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. David
Year 3 Class Teacher & Music Lead
