The music curriculum offers students a diverse and exciting experience of music. We want to inspire and develop an appreciation and understanding of music from across the canon; including different genres, time periods and cultures. Students will perform, compose and appraise music developing secure knowledge through active music making. By extending and experiencing music making beyond the classroom and into real world environments we hope to help students understand the significance of music within their own environment.
Topics covered include:
