The power of music

Music is all around us. It is the soundtrack to our lives. Music connects us through people and places in our ever-changing world. It is creative, collaborative, celebratory and challenging. In our schools, music can bring communities together through the shared endeavour of whole-school singing, ensemble playing, experimenting with the creative process and, through the love of listening to friends and fellow pupils, performing. The sheer joy of music making can feed the soul of a school community, enriching each student while strengthening the shared bonds of support and trust which make a great school.

Model Music Curriculum 2021

Welcome to the Music page. 

In school we follow the Lancashire Music Service Charanga scheme. In addition this this scheme our year 3 and year 4 classes have weekly music lessons with Mr Fleming from the Lancashire Music Service. During his lessons the children learn to play the ukulele, sing songs and learn about musical elements such as pitch, volume, tempo (speed) and instrumentation. Our year 5 and 6 children will also have a term of specialist music teaching from the school music co-ordinator.

Our school choir runs throughout the Autumn term and has performed for the switch on of the Padiham Christmas Lights, at local secondary schools and at Blackburn Cathedral.
