Children in KS2 have the opportunity to apply to be a Furness Music Leader.  Up to 8 children are chosen every year to undertake the role. Their responsibilities are as follows:

• Manage the PowerPoint in whole school and singing assemblies independently.
• Assist with setting up and packing down equipment (such as microphones, PA gear and instruments), before or after assemblies and other events
• Help to manage behaviour in singing assemblies by rewarding Dojo points to children singing and participating well
• Assisting with Reception and Year 1 curriculum music lessons, and beginners’ music clubs
• General help in the Music Room
• Be a role model for other children to follow

Pupils must submit a written application and complete a short interview with the Music Lead to be successful.  The school PRIDE values, including attendance and punctuality, are also considered when the children are selected.

Successful candidates write a short biography about their musical interests and aspirations, which is celebrated on the school website.
