Music
Music gives a soul to the universe, flight to the imagination and life to everything.
We use music to help raise standards of achievement in reading, writing and mathematics. It is also at the heart of a joyful school.
Singing is used to help develop oracy. Performance is used to develop confidence and character. Instrumental work develops co-ordination and fine motor skills, and there is also research that evidences that in schools that promote music academic attainment rises.
Music helps our pupils to develop self-discipline and responsibility.
Children are taught in mixed ability class groups with activities designed to engage all.
We work closely with Bradford Music and Arts service who provide us with specialist instrumental teachers who come in to school on a weekly basis to give lessons.
All Year 3 – Ukuleles
All Year 4 pupils either Woodwind or Brass
45 Year 5 pupils either Woodwind or Brass
A selection of Year 6 children either Woodwind or Brass
A selection of children from across school who have percussion lessons.
We also have a Guitar teacher who comes into school to give lessons to pupils who book through Music and Arts service.
During their music lessons, children learn technical, musical and performance skills.
On a Tuesday after school we have a school choir that is open to year 2 up to year 6 from 3.30pm until 4.30 pm which is run by Lisa Artist from Bradford Music and Arts service and supported by Mrs White and Mrs Moody
