3rd Years Make Movie Soundtracks

Our 3rd Year pupils have been set an exciting musical challenge by Mr Osmond to create their very own movie soundtracks.

Inspired by the iconic work of John Williams and other renowned film composers, the pupils have been composing, conducting and performing original pieces designed to enhance the emotion and drama of selected film scenes. From exploring rhythm and structure to choosing the right instruments, each group has worked collaboratively to bring their cinematic visions to lifE, even tackling legendary films such as Star Wars with fresh musical interpretations.

In addition to their practical work, pupils have also been delving into the history of film music, studying how live organ or piano performances once accompanied silent films in the early days of cinema, long before the sweeping, recorded soundtracks we know today became central to the movie experience.

It’s been an inspiring project that combines creativity, collaboration and an appreciation of music’s powerful role in storytelling.
