Teachers’ Comments

  • "I cannot say enough wonderful things about Apollo Music!"

    “The children were in awe every time they came in and played for us. For almost all of them, it was their first introduction to classical music, never mind seeing instruments like that played live. They adored it! Every single one of them completely engaged. The children were asking so many questions and so inspired.”

    — Year 5 Teacher, St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School, Hackney

  • "Apollo music is one of the greatest experiences my classes have ever had throughout the school year."

    “The children absolutely love having the opportunity to listen to and experience live classical music, not to mention going to a live orchestra performance! It really encourages the children to listen to classical music and take up lessons with new instruments. There has never been a greater time in which children need this experience.”

    — Year 4 Teacher, Benthal Primary School, Hackney

  • "“It was incredible to see the children transfixed on the orchestra with instruments many of them had never seen before."

    “For some children who struggle with their creativity, seeing their stories come to life with the improvisation of the quartet really took them on an adventure and made the goosebumps rise on all our arms! Since the project, we have used music in our literacy lessons to help build suspense and atmosphere in our writing and many children have told me they want to play an instrument! Could you play for us every week?!”

    — Amy Frankau, Orchard Primary School

  • "The project has been a positive experience and highlight of the term."

    ““I think it is crucial to the children's learning, and to their mental health, to be able to take part and enjoy the Apollo Music project in the difficult situation they are now living through.”

    — Year 5 Teacher, St Luke’s C of E Primary School, Camden

  • "I have never seen my class so engrossed by music."

    “We have absolutely loved working with Apollo Music Projects. The opportunities that it has created have been invaluable and they have opened the children’s eyes to something totally new. I have never seen my class so engrossed by music and to then listen to them comment on Beethovens 6th Symphony was incredible! Thank you!”

    — Catherine Sutcliffe, Rushmore Primary School

  • "Since working with Apollo Music Projects my class have shown an appreciation for all new types of music..."

    “…but particularly classical music pieces which they would possibly not hear anywhere else. They are now able to clearly state what they hear in the music, either discussing an emotional response or using their broadening musical vocabulary to explain what they hear. They have further developed the skills of listening and are now able to listen for enjoyment or critically discuss why musicians and composers make the choices they do for their audiences.”

    — Juliet Forsyth, Springfield Community Primary School

  • "“Working with Apollo Music Projects brings a new dimension to our pupils’ appreciation of music."

    “For many of the children it is the first time they have experienced musicians playing classical music before their eyes. There is delight as the sound fills their own classroom and excitement when they attend a real concert at the Hackney Empire. The skills of careful listening and differentiating musical sounds transfer to other areas of the curriculum and improve their ability to concentrate and attend to details.”

    — Mary Igoe, Headteacher, Columbia Primary School
