Form 3 experience the BBC’s Ten Pieces

Form 3 has recently visited The Ritz Cinema in Thirsk to watch a new BBC film called Ten Pieces. This is an inventive and immersive film with the mission of inspiring a generation of children, mixing performance, live action and animation to explore the wonders of classical music. One of the key aims of the Ten Pieces project is to encourage children to develop their own creative responses to the classical music they hear in the film. Form 3 have already been studying and writing their own pieces of “Machine Music” this term, tying in with one of the pieces in the film, John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine.  We look forward to planning further follow-up projects and using the DVD version of the film to inspire future lessons.
