Copthorne & Caterham Schools in Unison!

Singers from Caterham School’s ETS and Copthorne School’s Year 5 and 6 choir joined forces for a delightful recording session in our Wilberforce Hall. The choirs rehearsed briefly together then set about recording two contrasting pieces: Rutter’s The Lord Bless You and Keep You and the famous gospel-inspired Love Shine a Light recorded by Katrina & The Waves. The pupils learnt some basic recording techniques and heard about the difference in approach when singing for a recording versus live performance. All pupils sang with energy and worked hard at creating a lovely, blended sound.

It was wonderful to welcome singers from Copthorne School and their wonderful staff- a fantastic occasion to combine the talents and musicianship in both schools. We look forward to working on future projects with their delightful pupils.
