Key stage 3
Students have access to a specialist music room and practise rooms along with equipment. We offer extra-curricular activities such as the school choir and peripatetic sessions that can be booked through school.
Music is vital in schools — it opens young minds to different aesthetics and cultures. Music also helps young people connect and focus differently as it activates a different part of the brain.
We aim to:
- build confidence in students’ ability to perform, listen and evaluate music
- introduce students to many different and varied musical artists, styles and cultures
- gain confidence in students using their voices
- build skills, knowledge and understanding of how to compose and create sounds using various instruments
- learn and understand how music is created and the various components needed such as pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture and structure
