At St Mary’s, we use music as a tool to spread joy throughout our school.

Through our four teaching units, we provide children with the opportunity to listen to a diverse range of music, compose their own music, sing tunefully and perform confidently in front of an audience. Children are taught to respond critically to a piece of music and develop their own unique taste. It is our intent that music is an inspiring and enjoyable learning experience and that children see music as a form of expression and a way to bring people together.

By year 6, we aim for our children to have a strong understanding of key musical elements such as tempo, pitch, beat, melody, dynamics, rhythm, texture and harmony. Throughout their time at St Mary’s, children have the opportunity to experiment with a range of musical instruments and develop a good understanding of notation. Through assemblies, concerts and school performances, we enable the talented musicians that we have at St Mary’s to showcase their talents.
