Music
Music forms an important element in the creative arts curriculum of the school. Our music policy ensures that every child in the school experiences a wide variety of musical activities.
Class music is taught by a specialist music teacher. We use a wide range of instruments and have a music room, which is used for class and instrumental lessons. The music skills we aim to develop include singing, listening and appraising, composing and performing. Children also learn about music from various historical eras as well as music of different cultures and countries of the world. All children have the opportunity to learn an instrument in year 4 as part of the Soundmakers scheme;
Children also have the opportunity to learn an instrument in school through peripatetic music lessons.

The Magic of Music
Learning to play a musical instrument provides children with an experience that enriches their lives in so many ways and we are on a mission to bring the magic of music to every home in Sussex. Children will learn musical skills that help develop a lifelong love of music and research has shown that there are many other benefits associated with learning to play a musical instrument including:
- raising confidence and self-esteem
- improving team work, concentration and many other skills for learning
- connecting with new people and broadening horizons
- improving their well-being by becoming happier and healthier
Lessons take place in small groups during the school day with specialist teachers from Brighton & Hove Music & Arts. To find out more about more about the opportunities available please visit our website where you can watch our teachers introducing and demonstrating their instrumentshttps://www.bhma.org.uk/which-instrument.
To help you find out which instrument your child might like to learn we are hosting a series of zoom parent/carer meetings. The meetings will last approximately 30 minutes and you will be able to meet the teachers, find out more about what’s involved in learning an instrument, the costs involved and how you may be able to receive help towards lesson fees.
