We believe that in Music, we inspire students by studying a wide range of genres and challenge them to think, speak and act like musicians. Music has the power to transcend differences and allow students to explore a variety of cultures whilst developing their own sense of creativity and self-confidence.
From studying Music, we aim to develop students’ musical knowledge and skills, through a mixture of performing, analysing and composing music across the curriculum.
