During the lockdown and ongoing school closures of Spring and Summer 2020 some of my pupils from the Music Clubs we run at Balfour Infant School continued their instrumental learning with Kate online, via Skype.

Usually the children would perform a Summer Concert in the school hall – an event which showcases to their families how much they have learned during the course of the year.

This year, since the school was closed, we put together an online concert; we hope you enjoy it!

On Friday 13th March the Balfour Infants Keyboard Club were due to perform “The Paratrooper” – a piece they had been working hard on all term. This was to be their first performance in a school Celebration Assembly too, so we were all very excited!

Unfortunately due to the ‘social distancing’ required by the COVID-19 pandemic the assembly was cancelled, and the school was closed at the end of that day until further notice.

Fortunately however, we filmed the performance that the Keyboard Club were going to make at our club session the day before – we were a few members down due to the pandemic, but here are Ethan, Amreen, Mariam, Poppy and Leo performing “The Paratrooper”.
