Drumming demo with Mr. Coetzee 10th October 2025 Creative Arts This week, we were delighted to welcome our resident drum teacher, Mr Stephen Coetzee, who gave a fantastic drumming demonstration to Years 5 and 6 pupils during their music lessons. Mr. Coetzee and Mrs. Hastilow performed an exciting improvisation on the 12-bar blues, showing pupils just how rewarding it can be to make music together! Percussionists are not just essential in bands, they also make up an important (and often under represented!) section of orchestras and are always in demand in senior school music making! Pupils asked brilliant questions, and everyone had the chance to try out the drum kit for themselves. A huge thank you to Mr. Coetzee for sharing his time, talent, and enthusiasm with us! If your child would like to take up the drums, please contact Mrs Hastilow to sign up!
