Music
“Without music, life would be a mistake.” (Nietzsche)
At Low Ash, we recognise the importance of a good quality music curriculum and the benefits that this can have on children’s well-being and development. We want to ensure we are making music accessible for all children whilst promoting a love of musicianship and performing. Our curriculum intends to build musical progression slowly and steadily year group by year group, whilst giving the children plenty of opportunities to showcase their learning. We want to instill a musical passion and understanding into every pupil, that encompasses each strand of the music curriculum. By offering a high-quality music education, delivered by staff that feel confident in the subject area, we can engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and a desire to improve their talent as musicians, which will in turn increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.
At Low Ash we give children the opportunity to learn a musical instrument or receive vocal tuition via the Bradford Council Music Service. (This in addition to whole class trumpet instrumental lessons delivered in Year 5 by the Music Service.)
Further information and an online application form can be found on their website. Please click this link https://www.bradfordmusiconline.co.uk/site/. We would encourage you to complete the form online but we can provide you with a paper form if you contact school which you can complete and send direct to the Music Service if you prefer.
The Music Service provides tuition in the following areas:
All stringed instruments
All brass instruments
Piano and keyboard
Other instruments are only available if 2 pupils are wanting individual lessons or 8 children are wanting a group lesson.
