We believe that students deserve a broad and ambitious music curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge, which ignites curiosity and prepares them well for future learning or employment. Our music curriculum will give students the opportunity to:
- Develop an in depth understanding of music, through performing, composing listening and appraising.
- Develop self-confidence through performance, both through lessons and extra-curricular participation (concerts and productions)
- Encourage creativity through composition skills
- Understand the complexities of music and world culture through exploration of a wide range of genres.
- Encourage personal development through ensemble performances and group compositions
- Understand how music can support the development of transferrable skills, such as confidence, self-awareness, perseverance and discipline and provide a holistic experience that they can take beyond their musical studies
- Gain a sense of achievement through the creation of music.
Our Curriculum Road Maps offer a brief visual guide to our curriculum showing the learning sequence that students will follow in each year group.
