Music
We intend for pupils to be passionate and confident musicians with the ability to read simple musical notation and to have experienced playing range of a instruments: glockenspiels, recorders, African drums, untuned percussions and ukuleles. Several of these instruments are taught by specialist teachers and other units focus on singing and listening skills, composition and understanding of musical notations. At Queen’s Park Academy, delivery of these lessons is supported by the Charanga and Kapow schemes. Examples of units covered, include jazz, blues and film music. Pupils have weekly music lessons and fortnightly singing assemblies as well as having additional enrichment activities, such as a whole school Jazz performance.
