Medley Music can lead these events or work with the Teaching Staff and hopefully take off a little pressure preparing the children to perform

Music Tutor
Su began playing keyboard instruments at an early age – getting her first reed organ at around 5 years old. Her first music lessons were on recorder at school, which started her off reading music. She began piano lessons aged 10, later adding guitar, oboe and flute and continued with these through to university, gaining a BA (Hons) in Music with Education Studies.
Su began teaching electronic organ to groups in 1995 and also piano and flute one-to-one and in small groups. She joined the keyboard project in its inception in 2007 and, as well as teaching, has been involved in writing and recording for the courses. She believes she has the best job in the world!
Su played oboe in the Stockport Schools Wind Band and has continued to play with Werneth Concert Band since 1995. She also plays bass in the swing band and conducts a community ladies choir.
Su feels that the opportunities she had to learn and participate in music at school played a huge part in both her choice of career and her love of making music.
Su enjoys many styles of music, but has a particular passion for 80s pop and electronica and, of course, ABBA.

Medley Music have put together a selection of songs, backings and videos of some of the Children’s favourites they have been learning for you to sing along too and join in with the actions.
Please have a look at Spring Support 2021.
Research suggests that music can stimulate the body’s natural feel good chemicals and I think we all need this right now!

We Miss You
We miss you like crazy all children and staff
We miss our music and all the good laughs
We miss the “come on get up” to children of plenty we say
We miss telling you the stories in only our way
We miss walking into schools hearing the children chatter
We miss the tables and chairs moving and all of the clatter
We miss the big smiles children have on their faces
We miss the sound of keyboards, singing and getting in their places
We miss the stories the children have to say
We miss hearing their voices and instruments as they play
We miss looking after you when you don’t feel well
We miss hearing all about how you fell
We miss the fun, the smiles on your faces
We miss how the Children are ahead of us with your paces
We miss the welcome from Head Teachers & staff as we get there
You’re welcoming but some might go hooray to PPA to be fair!
We miss your laughter, your own unique ways
We miss our music teaching whole days
We miss after school clubs and how we get to know you
We miss you all, we so really do
But when this is all over they’ll be no more we miss you
Because we will be back together and we will teach you
To look back on all this and a distant memory it will be
History we have made but not forgotten, always there for each other is
the key
Love from Medley Music.
