Ark Choirs
Once every few weeks we welcome the ARK Choirs, Spark and Ignite, to rehearse at ARK Globe Academy. They use the main Pentagon Hall, the Commons Hall and several classrooms. It is great to see the school being used om a Saturday by so many school children and it is a pleasure to work that day as they sound great! Music is very important at ARK schools and all the children have the opportunity to learn an instrument and take part in choirs. This is such a great opportunity and it is wonderful to so many children engaging with music and discovering new talents.
Here is some more information about they choirs and music at ARK Academy schools:
Music
Music is a core part of life in many of our schools. Designed to build confidence, ability and harness a life-long love of a variety of music, the Ark Music Programme offers a wealth of experience for all pupils at all levels.
Fusion Ensemble and the Spark and Ignite choirs
These programmes give intensive training to the most committed and enthusiastic Ark singers and instrumentalists. Each ensemble rehearses on Saturdays throughout the year, and the Spark and Fusion ensembles join together for a weekend residential course every year. They play a wide range of music – including world music, classical, musical theatre and chart hits – arranged specifically for them, as well as pieces created by the students themselves.
The choirs compete in a competition each year so we wish them the best of luck!
