Mr Guinane and I have narrowed down the font options for the Berlin hoodie.  Please let us know your preferred font, either via email on Beaumont.Music@Beaumont.herts.sch.uk or via Twitter (BeaumontMusic).  You have until Sunday evening 6.30pm to let us know!  Only students/staff coming to Berlin may vote. Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Years 12 and 13, I have put together playlist celebrating the genius of Steve Reich. Find it here or below. Please listen to the music and find out about Reich and his fascinating approach to music and composition. For starters, a really interesting video about his seminal work Music for 18 Musicians. Some of this feeds nicely into New York Counterpoint. Enjoy. Mr. Guinane

The following 6th form students still need to collect your Berlin medical forms and hoody letters.  The deadline is THIS Friday so please come and collect your forms from Ms Doan's and Mr Guinane's pigeon holes as a matter of urgency. Megan Beaven Emma Donaldson Hannah Fletcher Gaby Robertson
