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.

​

Children are given the opportunity to;

​

• ·play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts,

• use their voices and play musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression,

• improvise and compose music for a range of purposes,

• listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory,

• use and understand musical notations,

• appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians

• to develop an understanding of the history of music.

​

Music is an extremely important subject for all children to learn and can lead to better brain development, increases in human connection, and even

stress relief.
