Music

The music department aims to provide a curriculum which is diverse in style, skills and relevant to current genres the students may be influenced by.

The curriculum is based on a 5-year spiral planning backwards for skills and knowledge required for students to achieve well at GSCE. At KS3 students will complete 3 performance and 3 composition units each year, with a progression of skills as they develop and complete work. Throughout the 3-year KS3 they will progress onto more challenging skills.

With performance, this will require students to retain information from previous units to allow them to develop their knowledge and performance skills further with a great amount of time focusing on keyboard
