MUSIC AT ESKDALE
Music is a universal language that everyone can access, understand and appreciate. Our music lessons are engaging and encourage pupil’s creativity.
At Eskdale Academy we see Music as an important aspect of a child’s development.
Eskdale Academy follows an interesting and progressive curriculum. Our music scheme enables children to understand musical concepts through a repetition-based approach to learning. Learning about the same musical concept through different musical activities which enables a more secure, deeper learning and mastery of musical skills.
