MUSIC

Music at our School

At Velmead, all children have a dedicated music lesson of 40 minutes per week, taught by a specialist teacher. Music is linked with termly topics, with everything from rapping about the Ancient Greeks to creating music that sounds like a storm. Every lesson is practical and the children will have opportunities to use a range of percussion instruments, recorders, ukuleles and music technology. Children learn about a variety of musical genres such as Samba, Opera and Dance Music. They are introduced to, and encouraged to use, musical vocabulary and musical notation and will work on the skills of active listening, improvisation, composing and performing.
