Ed Sheeran surprises students at The Rhythm Studio!
On Wednesday, we were treated to a surprise visit by legendary singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Ed spent the morning at the Royal Albert Hall meeting SEND pupils at the Tri-Borough Music Hub’s West London Inclusive Arts Festival. He then popped over to The Rhythm Studio to spend the afternoon meeting students and staff and learn about the work we do to create opportunities in music for young people.
During the visit, Ed discovered the work of The Rhythm Studio Foundation, joining a class with our Year 5 pupils from Addison Primary, who spend Wednesday afternoons producing tracks and forming bands at the studio. Ed then took the time to chat with older students from the Foundation’s scholarship programme and The Rhythm Studio’s sixth form, discovering their experiences, listening to their music and advising them on songwriting skills and future ambitions. The visit came to an incredible finale with Ed taking to the stage to perform two of his biggest hits, Castle On A Hill and Perfect.
