Overview

Our music curriculum aims to inspire a love of music and develop creativity, confidence and performance skills.

Children learn to listen, sing, compose and play instruments, building an understanding of rhythm, pitch and musical structure.

Through practical experiences and specialist tuition pupils explore a wide range of musical styles and traditions, while developing teamwork and self-expression. Our goal is to ensure every child enjoys music and has opportunities to perform and create.
