We have this year been shortlisted for ‘Music Department of the Year’, nationally. The music department hosts a suite of 4 classrooms, all with PCs or Macs, and a recording studio, plus a large number of practice rooms.
In classroom lessons, at Key Stage 3, we explore all the types of Music, learning to appreciate how they are created and performed as well as experimenting through practical exercises both on instruments and using technology. In line with the National Curriculum all our units of work fall into one or more of the following categories: -
- Performing
- Composing
- Listening and Appraising -Singing and Listening Exercises are an integral part of lessons at Key Stage 3 developing both musical and confidence skills.
