Our music courses are designed to inspire a love and an appreciation of all things musical. Throughout the year, a series of topics are taught half termly, enthusing our students, but also growing their musical competence at the same time. We would like to equip our students with the key critical thinking, problem solving and creative skills they will use daily across all of their subjects, developing their curiosity and ability to research, present and deliver a project.
We aim to build strong foundations for our students so they can confidently move onto the year 10 and 11 assured course, music & culture. Our courses introduce them to the importance of social and historical context within various musical genres, and closer, analytical research and reflection.
Student progress is measured by both formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments take place regularly and in a variety of formats ranging from group discussions and collaboration, written tasks, quizzes, compositions, presentations, and performance. Students complete one summative assessment each half-term in which they are required to demonstrate their understanding of a topic by creating or analysing a musical product.
We have several fee packages and options, with differing levels of commitment to suit most circumstances. In most cases parents have the option to pay in instalments, spreading the cost of the investment.
