Music is an art form encountered by every single person every day, often without realisation.
It is a constant source of enrichment throughout life and we aim to develop the student’s understanding of music through broad curriculum which will enable them to more fully understand and appreciate music from a wide range of ages and cultures.
In addition, the study of music has been proven to enhance the academic potential of students as well as developing discreet transferable skills.
Our lessons for pupils in years 7 to 9 are centred on listening, composition and performance, with all the projects incorporating these elements. Students learn about a variety of different musical styles and eras of music through highly practical schemes of work that develop instrumental as well as analytical skills.
