About the Curriculum<\/h2>\n

Pupils are exposed to music from a wide variety of genres. Musicianship is taught and developed through the use of symbols, scores, pictures and games, leading onto stick and staff notation. There is a large emphasis on singing at LPW, and pupils develop self-confidence through solo and group opportunities for performing in different venues and for different occasions. Pupils from Years 6 to 8 develop their performance and composition skills in singing tasks and on the keyboard as part of their topic work which focuses on music from different genres.<\/p>\n

Teaching Approach<\/h2>\n

Music is taught throughout the school by a music specialist. Nursery & Pre-School, Reception and Pre-Prep children are taught musicianship skills which focuses on the elements of music. Pulse\/Rhythm\/Pitch and Tempo are taught throughout the Pre-Prep through singing and exploring games, rhymes and chants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Co-curricular Music<\/h2>\n

Pupils from Reception to Year 8 have the opportunity to take lessons from music visiting teachers including singing, piano, violin, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, rock and acoustic guitar and drums, with opportunities to perform in formal and informal concerts throughout the year. Prep pupils in Years 3-6 all belong to a year group choir, and from Year 7, pupils can choose to belong to Chamber Choir.<\/p>\n

Instrumentalists are able to join Orchestra, Senior Ensemble, Brass and Wind group or Rock Band.<\/p>\n

Out of school, visits to concerts and senior school music days take place regularly, and pupils preparing for music scholarships are fully supported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
