Children participate in a range of musical activities. They are encouraged to sing, compose and use percussion instruments in order to develop their creative skills. Through active listening, children’s awareness and understanding of different periods, styles and genres are developed. They learn songs with increasing confidence. As skills develop children learn to respond to a variety of different stimuli and express their own feelings by developing compositions which are performed.
The school provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to play a recorder, to sing in a choir or to have individual instrumental lessons. Parents are provided with information regarding instrumental tuition for which a payment is required. The County Peripatetic Music Service provides the music tutors.
