Music/Drama
Music
At our school music encourages the expression of personal thoughts and feelings through sound, using
rhythm, pitch, dynamics, timbre and texture. The teaching of music is very important for the development of the whole child in that it can contribute to the development of speech and language, mental and physical co-ordination, listening skills, imagination, social skills and confidence. It makes a major contribution to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the child.
Children from Year 3 have the opportunity to have instrumental tuition in violin, cello, flute, clarinet and
brass are offered as a charged extra. Many opportunities are provided for instrumentalists, recorder groups
and orchestra to play for a wider range of audiences; for example in our Shine week and Spring Concert.
Music plays a key role in our school life through classroom music, instrumental lessons, performances,
collective worship and extra-curricular activities.
