Music
At St Lewis’, we provide a high quality music education which enables children to develop a love of music whilst increasing self-confidence, creativity and a sense of achievement. Our aim is to provide a high quality music education that engages and inspires children to develop a love of music and nurtures their talent as musicians. Through our scheme (Kapow Music) and using cross curricular links to other subjects, children have the opportunity to perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions. They learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others.
Children in KS2 build on the skills acquired in KS1 so that, by the end of year 6, they sing and play with increasing control and self-confidence. They deepen their understanding of music in the world and the significance of music through history. Children are encouraged to explore their own musical preferences and discuss these with confidence.
Children have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument in KS2, with our peripatetic music specialists. We also have a choir which is open to KS 1 and 2 pupils and they perform at local care homes and festivals.
We believe it is crucial that our children are familiar with the whole range of musical genres and musicians / composers and pride ourselves on offering music every morning to the children as they arrive in school as well as celebrating inspirational musicians with our 'Little People, Big Dreams' books and Amazing People Schools initiative.
