Music

Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. 

Music is all around us. It is the soundtrack to our lives. Music connects us through people and places in our ever-changing world. It is creative, collaborative, celebratory and challenging. In school, music can bring communities together through the shared endeavor of whole school singing, ensemble playing, experimenting with the creative process and through the love of listening to friends and fellow pupils, performing. The sheer joy of music making can feed the soul of a school community, enriching each student while strengthened the sharedbonds of support and trust which make a great school.    

The scheme supports all the requirements of the new National Curriculum and The Model Music Curriculum and is in line with published OFSTED guidance. 

Children are given the opportunity to learn to play the keyboard or guitar on an individual basis in lessons delivered by a peripatetic teacher and paid for by parents.
