Louth Academy is alive with the sound of music!
The new facilities at the Academy’s Lower Campus (the former Cordeaux site) will afford students the space and resources to develop their skills, without fear of disturbing neighbouring departments.
Sam Baker, Curriculum Leader for Music, said: “The large open space of our first new classroom is perfect for group instrumental lessons and class ensemble work, to put our class sets of djembes and samba kits to good use.

“In addition, the teaching room is a great space for music theory and singing, especially with our brand-new Yamaha Clavinova piano at the front.
“Importantly, the new space has allowed us to continue our provision of Music Clubs and expand to run exciting new activities, like Samba band and Performing Arts Club.”
Students in Years 7 and 8 have already given their approval to the new Music Department and are excited to get involved.
