Music

We have a specialist music teacher who, besides teaching class music throughout the school, co-ordinates the programmes of our visiting instrumental teachers. All children are introduced to a wide range of tuned and untuned percussion instruments in their class music lessons and enjoy singing a variety of songs as well as working on listening skills, composing and performing. Children in Year 3 have the opportunity to start to learn the recorder.

In addition to timetabled music lessons there are also after school music clubs and a number of concerts and musical productions are arranged and performed throught the year.

After discussion with the music and class teachers individual instrumental lessons can be arranged for recorder, violin, cello, piano, percussion, flute, clarinet and guitar, for which there is an additional charge. Children regularly perform in assemblies and concerts to which parents are often invited.
