The Music Programme, which includes the General Music and Music Enrichment workshops (AMIS), focuses on nurturing pupils’ creative expression and communication through Music.

The General Music Programme focuses on nurturing pupils’ creative expression and communication through Music.

Pupils will develop an understanding of musical elements and concepts and these are reinforced through musical experiences. These include the following:

Imitate rhythmic and melodic patterns using body percussion, voice and different classroom percussion instruments
Describe the qualities of the music using appropriate terms when listening and performing music
Perform on a melodic instrument with good tone and expression
Compose a simple melody using a range of music instruments
Evaluate and comment on the music that they have heard
Understand music in local and global cultures

The music curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to develop a connection to music and lay the foundation for a life-long engagement in music.

Here are some of our pupils in action during their curriculum music lessons:
