This production will be staged in July towards the end of term.  The date will be confirmed in due course.

We are holding an Open Rehearsal on Wednesday 18 March 2015 at Burley Oaks Primary School between 4.30pm and 5.00pm to showcase to parents and friends how the children work towards rehearsing for a show.

To that end we would like to invite parents and friends to come to watch the Open Rehearsal between 4.30pm and 5.00pm on Wednesday 18 March.

The tutors will be showcasing singing, dancing and drama skills as part of a working rehearsal.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Year 2 students at Dixons Music Primary will be taking part in their first production: The Lion King on Wednesday 25 March 2015.

Parents will be contacted during early February with details of the show and how to request tickets for the show.

On Friday 12 June Learn to Rock will be presenting their annual interactive demonstration of Instruments and Vocals at Burley Oaks Primary School in Ilkley.

The objective of the demonstration is to show pupils what can be learnt with Learn to Rock and how we learn.

Staff and students (Year 2 to Post 16) at Learn to Rock will participate in the demonstration so that pupils at Burley Oaks can see exactly what can be achieved.

The instruments that will be demonstrated will include:  Vocals, Keyboard, Piano, Electric, Bass and Classical Guitars, Drums and Vocals.

Pupils will then have the opportunity to sign up for lessons at Burley Oaks for September.

Follow up letters and application forms will be sent home with pupils at the end of the day.

Each term we track selected students as they learn with their tutors each week. The students work can be seen on video with information about what and how they are learning.

The pupils in Reception to Year 5 at Burley Oaks Primary School will participate in a Musical Theatre taster morning.

Pupils will experience Dance, Drama and Singing and work on a mini project in the taster.
