MUSIC
The musical experience of children in the classroom has three elements: listening, and appreciating, performing and composing music of different types. All children have the opportunity to sing and play instruments, compose original music using non-standard notation and listen to a wide variety of music. Tuition is available for all children who wish to learn to play the recorder. Also the County peripatetic music teachers come into school to teach the violin, viola and cello. These stringed instrument lessons, together with the use of an instrument, are paid for by the parents of children receiving the tuition. Currently all children in Year 4 have the opportunity for free brass and woodwind tuition.
During their school experience children will have the opportunity to join choirs and music making groups and opportunities are provided for children to share their musical skills with an audience through concerts, class assemblies and festivals. Children enjoy many enriching activities, such as working with the English Touring Opera and leading the singing of thousands in Lincoln Cathedral every year at Christmas!
