Music Teacher (Cover Supervisor) 0.6 job summary

Inspire, perform, compose - Nurture musical talent in our thriving, Christian ethos school environment. Bede Academy is seeking a passionate and skilled Music Specialist to join our team for 3 days a week. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with our music lead to deliver our established music curriculum and help shape the musical journey of our pupils from KS1 to KS2.

Bede Academy is a thriving primary school with a strong Christian ethos at the heart of everything we do. We believe in nurturing the whole child - spiritually, academically, and creatively. Our music programme is hands-on and inclusive, giving every child the opportunity to explore, perform, and compose using a wide range of instruments.

At Bede Academy, music is taught so that all children find enjoyment in creating and listening to music and see themselves as musicians.

We passionately believe that every young person should be able to experience music and to make progress. Through our ethos, music curriculum, extra-curricular music activities, teaching and learning, we promote British values, ensuring that all learners understand the values that have traditionally underpinned British society. We understand that the implicit and explicit teaching of these values helps promote cohesiveness within our school and community. Our emphasis and delivery of music is placed on the immersion in music through the practical learning of instruments, composition and rich musical knowledge. We aim to help each child achieve competence and control in:

Singing

Using instruments

Learning about musical elements

Listening and responding

We have developed our music curriculum to ensure that throughout their music lessons children have the opportunity to:

Develop skills to use a range of instruments (including voice) and techniques competently.

Feel able to express their ideas and feelings through musical creation.

Learn to listen analytically and with concentration, developing an appropriate vocabulary to help discuss their own work and that of others.

Understand the relationship between sound and symbol and develop a working knowledge of systems of notation for use in composing and performing.

Appreciate and evaluate the work of a range of composers and musicians from their own and other cultures.

Develop social skills through co-operation with others in sharing music making.

Our students engage in the process of creating music as well as celebrating our performances. We participate in cross curricular activities and involve children in large scale concerts, involving full year groups when possible.

All our students learn how to read notation, compose and learn how to play a variety of instruments whilst exploring different genres and periods of music.

Students with disabilities or SEND needs have student passports which informs staff of specific requirements for each individual. We provide ear defenders, scaffolded resources, differentiated scores for instruments, take consideration of those with hearing impairments (wearing speech device, etc). Some SEND students are also accompanied by a Learning Support Assistant. We take care to make sure all students and needs are accommodated.
