News and Views SHAPING the FUTURE Autumn 2019 a Level & GCSE Results Success BELFAIRS ACADEMY News and Views SHAPING THE FUTURE Autumn 2019 A Level & GCSE Results Success Update from the Principal / CEO Legra Trust What a wonderful autumn half term we have enjoyed. Any angst that Year 7 parents were feeling as their children transitioned from primary school to Belfairs has been dissipated. I am so pleased to see how settled the children are, both academically and joining in all the extra enrichment activities that are available for them. Our coffee and cake afternoon for year 7 parents was well attended and great positive feedback given on the hard work of staff, who have ensured that their children are making progress from the very first day. Year 11 and Year 13 PPE’s will begin in November, with all the details on the website. Students will have been given revision materials before half term, and again all of these will be uploaded electronically online to SMHW. A big thank you to all parents engaging with us on ensuring that attendance at school is excellent. We all know that if you are not here, you cannot learn. We all want the children to have amazing life chances and being at the academy will ensure this happens. It is great that attendance at our events held for parents are so well supported, as this sends a good message to your children. Our Post 16 Open Evening was just a measure of our success with the best ever attendance. It was a packed out school which allowed us to showcase our great curriculum and offer that we give Post 16 students, with their own dedicated staff team to look after them. Our building works continues to be on schedule and in the New Year we look forward to welcoming you to come and have a look around the amazing facilities. Enjoy the break with your families.

The Boomerang Bag Incentive encourages community groups to make tote bags from donated materials and then place these in local retailers. Customers either take and use as a bag for life or borrow and return for other customers to make use of. Belfairs Textiles Club have got involved in the initiative and have made 10 Tote bags from donated materials. Students then donated these to The Refill Room in Leigh Broadway to help support the fight against the use of plastics in our town. The Refill Room were delighted to receive them!

  • 1 Concert 3 – Blockbusters & Beethoven January 25, 2020
    Concert 3 – Blockbusters & Beethoven January 25, 2020 Leonore Overture No. 3, op. 72a—Ludwig van Beethoven While today, opera—for any number of reasons—is not heard as frequently as the symphony orchestra, before the twentieth century it dominated the musical scene. Only gradually did permanent instrumental ensembles evolve that focused upon symphonies and the like. Composers made their reputations, or not, as composers of opera, and that’s what the nobility (who paid the bills) largely wanted to hear. And they wanted to hear the latest ones—not last year’s. And so, when Beethoven arrived in Vienna as a young composer shortly after Mozart’s death, money, reputation, and professional respect lay in that direction. It was only natural that Beethoven aspired to write one. Alas! It was a tortured affair for Beethoven; he labored long over it (and he is famed for revising his work) with more effort than any of his other compositions. He spoke frankly of his frustration, and claimed a “martyr’s crown” for the pain it caused him. That there are three versions of the opera and four overtures, alone, speaks volumes about the process of its genesis. He began in 1804, with the wildly popular French “rescue operas” of Cherubini and Méhul as models. The genre was a proto-romantic inspiration from the trials and terror of the times of the French Revolution, with heroines and heroes saved from death and disaster in the nick of time. “Heroic” imagery and noble sacrifice fascinated Beethoven—he had just finished the Eroica symphony about that time.

  • Music for James Bond - 007
    Music for James Bond - 007 Exercise 1 A Riff is a short melodic / rhythmic phrase or motive, which repeats over and over again, to form the basis of a rock song or piece of jazz music. Answer the following questions when you hear the James Bond music: (a) Listen carefully to the James Bond music. How many different riffs do you hear? (b) How many times do you hear the music of the introuction in the course of the whole piece? (c) How many melodies - rather than riffs - do you hear? (d) How does the music end? Exercise 2 Chromatic movement means that, in a succession of notes, the pitch of each note is positioned as close as possible to the next one. These small intervals are known as semitones and correspond to the movement on a keyboard from one key to the next one, regardless whether the closest is black or white. On a guitar this would be from one fret to its closest neighbour. (a) Start on the the note B and try to work out and play the chromatic riff of the James Bond music. (b) Now try to play the bass riff. Start on the note E. This riff is not chromatic. It is, however, rhythmically tricky. Practise it slowly at first, getting faster as you get more confident. (c) In pairs, try to coordinate playing both riffs at the same time. When this is well synchronized, try fitting this to the James Bond music. Exercise 3 A pentatonic scale is made up of 5 different notes.

  • Sousa Archives: a Center for American Music
    The Sousa Archives: A Center For American Music http://www.library.illinois.edu/sousa/index.php?p=eventscal University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Celebrates American Music Month November 1-30, 2013 New Exhibitions The James Bond Theme: Music to Live, Die, and Love Another Day, Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, April 11, 2013 – March 14, 2014. Many film scholars have suggested that John Barry’s early Bond orchestrations established an entirely new music genre to portray the excitement and intrigue associated with the spy thrillers of the 1960s. However, the syncopated guitar riff that begins the “James Bond” music theme that was first introduced in 1962 for Dr. No, and the rich orchestral cadence of the infamous “007” tune that was launched in From Russia with Love in 1963 have remained the two quintessential melodies associated with all of the Bond movie sequels that followed between 1964 and 2012. Such prominent composers and performers as Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, Marvin Hamlisch, Monty Norman, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, Nancy Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass have followed in Barry’s artistic footsteps, but few have surpassed his influence on the musical portrayal of Britain’s most recognized super spy. This exhibit explores the historical and musical roots of these two distinct movie themes, and illustrates through music, photographs, graphic art, and oral history interviews their lasting impact on the Bond movie legacy. How the Sousa Band Music Library Came to the University of Illinois, Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, June 1, 2013 – June 2, 2014.
