Many children at Chesham Preparatory School are keen to involve themselves in pop bands. They are able to arrange specific practice sessions during their lunchtimes or breaks when they can get together and create or re-create their own choice of music.
Children are encouraged to bring in their own equipment, guitars, amps and any combination of instruments/vocals; they can also make use of the school drum kits when appropriate skill levels are evident.
These bands are then able to perform informally to their classes or at a musical soiree during the year. The children enjoy the freedom to choose their own material and are able to request teacher input if they wish.
