Music

At our school, we are involved with a programme called Music'sCool, a multi-cultural music programme which provides high-quality music lessons linked to the National Curriculum and delivered by music specialists.

Music'sCool is designed to promote a love and enthusiasm for music while covering all areas of the National Curriculum Music programmes of study in KS1 and KS2, and to contribute significantly to the EYFS early learning goals. The programme develops and enhances every pupil’s general musicianship through participation in a variety of activities. Singing and performance lie at the heart of the programme and the aim is to build each child’s confidence in music-making through the development of singing skills combined with whole-body movement activities and instrument playing.

Music lessons take place weekly. In Year 1, children learn to play the violin. From Year 2 onwards, children learn to play the recorder. From Year 4 onwards, children also learn to play the ukulele and from Year 5 onwards, children learn to play the drums.

We offer additional small group tuition lessons for violin from Year 2 onwards, and small group tuition lessons for keyboard and guitar across Years 3-6.

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand. – Stevie Wonder
