Music
Music is a unique way of communicating that can inspire and motivate children. It gives an opportunity for personal expression and it can play an important part in the personal development of an individual.
At school we aim to teach the children through our Charanga scheme:
- How sounds are made through different instruments
- To listen and appraise different styles of music
- To enjoy singing and performing
- To have some understanding of the composition of music
- To know how music has changed over time.
Much of our music and singing teaching can be seen in our weekly hymn practice and in our regular class assemblies where parents are invited. We are fortunate to have Tameside Music Service in school. They have worked with our Key Stage 2 children. Children in KS2 also have the chance to join the school choir where they learn a variety of songs of different styles. The children in the choir get to perform in assemblies and at the Young Voices concert, held annually at the Manchester Arena. The Young Voices concert combines the power of singing together as one, with accompaniment from a wide range of musicians and artists, to create an amazing performance in front of an audience of friends and family.
Tameside Music Service offer private and group tuition during the school day. To find out more please follow this link -

What an amazing time we had! The children sang their hearts out and their behaviour was impeccable. We are all so proud of them! As you can see from the videos, pictures and selfies, everyone enjoyed the experience.
