Music is a key part of our curriculum and plays a vital role in stimulating the lives of the pupils at Vernon Primary School.
Each class has a weekly curriculum music lesson with their teacher. We follow the National Curriculum, using a variety of instruments to explore and combine sounds and we love composing music our own pieces to perform to the rest of the class.
We receive funding from the Love Music Trust and the PTA to allow the Year 5 pupils to learn a plastic brass instrument for a term. They get to take their instrument home and also perform to their parents as a class orchestra.
Not only do all the children have a weekly singing assembly to practise their skills, but we also invite pupils to perform in front of their key stage or the whole school.
Below are some of our talented musicians:
There are so many musical opportunities at Vernon Primary School and one of the key ones is to learn to play a musical instrument taught by one of our peripatetic instrument teachers.
We are pleased to host a team of highly qualified peripatetic instrumental teachers. They teach their lessons within the school day, and they operate a rolling timetable so that the children do not miss the same portion of the same lesson each week.
The instrumental opportunities are:
Monday - Clarinet/Saxaphone/Recorder with Mrs Carol Frost
Tuesday - Violin with Mrs Clare Jackson.
Wednesday - Drums with Mr Dan Coppock.
Wednesday - Guitar via Fidler Music
Thursday - Piano with Mrs Val Stark
Friday - Brass with Mr Graeme Longson.
Friday - Guitar/Ukulele via Fidler Music.
