Music
At Holy Family we believe that all children should be inspired by a wide range of music that connects them to the world around them. It is important to us that every student has the right to a high-quality music education and through this we aim for children to grow a love of music, cultivating their intrinsic musical skill, knowledge, competency and confidence as musicians. We are also passionate about the power of music and the wider impact it can have on a child’s emotional, social, personal development and their general well-being.
Curriculum
At Holy Family, we implement the CUSP framework to teach our Music curriculum. Throughout the year, each year group concentrates on enhancing their singing abilities, playing various untuned and tuned instruments, and expanding their understanding of music. Students will progressively develop their musical knowledge and skills, becoming more proficient in both playing and evaluating a diverse array of musical styles.
Extra Curricular Music
In addition to our music curriculum, we have a wonderful singing club for children in years 4, 5 & 6 where they can enjoy learning and singing pop songs through the decades. Singing club enjoy putting on performances for parents, singing in care homes and the hospital and have taken part in Young Voices.
This year we have also joined forces with Rocksteady Music School who deliver inclusive, fun, performance based music lessons to groups of children as part of a band. This provides the children with an unforgettable experience whilst simultanesously learning to play an instrument or develop their vocal range and style and build performance confidence.
