Pupils from Hunstanton, Heacham and Snettisham come together to showcase musical talents




Budding musicians across West Norfolk came together to showcase their talents at a workshop and performance.

Hunstanton’s Smithdon High School hosted the event, which saw more than 50 primary school pupils perform in two musical ensembles.

Organised by the West Norfolk Academies Trust, the MITI (Musical Instrumental Tuition Initiative) event was attended by Hunstanton Primary School, Snettisham Primary School and Heacham Junior School.

The young musicians were divided into a string band and a wind band, and practised several pieces of music together, which they later performed in front of an audience of family and friends.

“This workshop offered an incredible opportunity for students to come together from different schools to make music,” said Benjamin Howell, who is peripatetic music lead at the trust and oversaw the event with the support of West Norfolk Academies Trust director of music Robin Norman, and peripatetic music team members Sarah Fitzpatrick, Helen Johnson, Jenny Sargent, Eddie Searles, and David Madison.

“This was my first time leading the MITI Workshop, and we introduced some exciting new elements, including participation for beginner students and piano players, who joined percussion,” he added.
