Music

Music plays an integral role in helping children to feel part of our community as they sing, play, create and listen to it across a range of genres, cultures, styles and traditions. The inclusive nature of our music curriculum enables all to experience success through opportunities to create, perform and develop a love for music. Through a well-planned curriculum, excellent teaching and high-quality resources our aspiration is that all children will be able to read, compose, play and enjoy music.

Through weekly lessons, children from Nursery to Year 6 are taught the music curriculum by having opportunities to:

Sing
Play
Create – improvise and compose
Listen and to a range of music – composers, genres, performers, etc.

There are also a range of extra-curricular opportunities – in addition to our KS1 and KS2 choirs we have Mini Maestros, Rock Band and an Orchestra. We have a well-resourced music studio and excellent teaching is provided by a specialist music teacher and Richmond Music Trust who also offer individual instrumental tuition.

Singing is integral to the life of the school and children are given the opportunity to perform their musical skills throughout the year in assemblies, church services, music concerts, Infant Nativities, the Junior Carol Concert and the Year 6 production. We also collaborate with other schools singing at the Rose Theatre and the O2 ensuring children appreciate the need for perseverance and resilience.

Children progress through school with ever increasing musical skills, knowledge and appreciation. A love of music is shared throughout the school reinforcing our value of community and providing a sense of collaborative achievement and wellbeing. Aspirational performances instil a sense of success and pride. Children leave here confident and equipped to engage with music beyond their time at Holy Trinity School.
