Music

Through the teaching of music, we aim to foster enjoyment and enrich the experience of the child.

Through high-quality music education we aim to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talents as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. We aim to build self-esteem through developing performances and composition skills. We strive to enable children to know how music is made and to explore their own musical interests. 

To meet our aims and values we need to provide a wide range of musical experiences for our children. This involves; more hands on experiences, more hands on time with musical instruments, visits or visitors who can widen the breadth of musical experience for the children, lessons used in a cross-curricular manner across each key phase which build upon previous learning as they progress through school, opportunities to take up a musical instrument and regular exposure to different types of music. 

At SHPA, children acquire the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to make music and develop skills, attitudes and attributes that can support learning in other subject areas.
