In the Music Department we provide opportunities for pupils to gain skills, knowledge and understanding in the following areas:

• Controlling sounds made by the voice and instruments;

• Responding and reviewing own and others’ work;

• Listening and applying knowledge and understanding;

• Communicate musical ideas to others by means such as speaking and writing;

• Performance – both individual and ensemble;

• Creating and developing musical ideas in response to a stimulus.

Pupils will experience a variety of experiences/activities during a unit and during an individual lesson. There will be many opportunities for individual and/or group activities, e.g. performing, listening, composing, writing, discussion, appraising and using ICT equipment.

In the Music Department pupils will have the opportunity to study Music at Key Stage 3 and beyond to AS and A Level.

The Music Department not only teaches Music as a subject but provides endless opportunities for pupils to perform it outside of school in an extra curricular setting. Pupils are encouraged to be part of the various clubs such as Junior & Senior Choir, Orchestra, Concert Band, Junior & Senior Woodwind, Brass Group, Recorder Group and the String Quartet.

There are many events in the Music Department that allow the pupils to showcase their talents such as:

• Prize Distribution

• Annual school Musical Production

• Christingle

• Stars in Your Eyes

• Open Evenings

• College Assemblies

• Music Festivals
