Welcome to the Music Department
Our Intent
To provide opportunities for all students to develop their holistic knowledge and understanding of music.
For all learners to develop music specific skills in performance, composition, critical engagement (listening and evaluating) and musical literacy, within a variety of musical genres.
For learners to engage with music through individual and group activity, taking creative risks and developing resilience.
Students will have the opportunity to work collaboratively, developing respect for other musicians/peers through performance, composition and listening activities.
For learners to gain an appreciation of how music specific skills connect to other aspects of life within our school community as music makers; and in the wider world as music producers / stakeholders (listeners and consumers of music produced by others).
