Music ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  My name is Mrs Mudd, and I am the music lead at Studfall Junior Academy.

                                                                     

 We believe music is an important part of the curriculum, that allows all children to achieve success.  To do this we.......

 

      

We nurture musical development by providing a curriculum that encourages listening skills, singing, performance and an appreciation of a variety of different genres and composers.  Parents can also support the nurture of musical development outside of the classroom, and can find help with this through the DFE document 'Music Educataion: information for parents and young people.

We develop musical skills by giving all children the opportunity to play musical instruments.  We incorporate the playing of tuned and untuned musical instruments into lessons.  We also receive support from the external agencies NMPAT ( Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust), which allows all year 4 children to learn how to play the Ukulele or string instrument, and Rock Steady, which allows children the opportunity to play as part of a rock band.  This allows children to improve their musical skills and believe in their abilities. 

 

Children are given the opportunity to discover the importance and impact of music, as they take part in community events, which allow them to share their musical ability and bring a smile to others!  This includes annual visits to sing at the local church, singing to residents in local care homes, and performing to patients at the community hospital. 

 

All children achieve and shine in music as they take part in musical performances.  Children of all abilities are given a chance to shine.  There is a perfect part for everyone to show what they can achieve!
