Music In Schools
Every child, regardless of family income or circumstances, should have an opportunity to play a musical instrument. Our whole class projects are totally inclusive and offer opportunities for all.
- Early Years and Key Stage 1 Music and Movement projects are designed for children between the ages of 4 – 7 and provide a launch pad for musical development; the fun and engaging physical activities supporting their listening and social skills.
- Whole Class Instrumental and Vocal projects allow children to develop their musical skills and knowledge. Specialist SEND and mainstream tutors provide weekly lessons for either one term or a whole year depending on the choice of project. Class teachers and Teaching Assistants are actively encouraged to learn an instrument alongside the students both to enhance the overall musical development of the group and provide invaluable CPD opportunities for school staff.
