Vision for Music
 

It is our aim to inspire children to develop; a love of listening to music, learning how to play musical instruments and to confidently perform in front of an audience. We are very lucky to have several members of staff who are well-trained music teachers and we are very fortunate to have a trained music specialist HLTA, Mr Ferwerda, who will be delivering some of our music lessons. We aim to create as many opportunities for the children of All Saints to develop and showcase their musical talents through high quality music curriculum lessons and individual music tuition. Through our weekly singing collective worships, we aim to provide children with high quality live music experiences as well as singing together as a choir. All the staff are determined to bring our curriculum to life through the use of topic-linked music sessions where children apply knowledge learned through other subject into their music lessons.

What's new?
 
We are thrilled to have received a silver music quality mark accreditation from Leicestershire Music for the impact of our music curriculum on children's learning.
 
We have once again performed in the Young Voices choir in Resorts World Arena, Birmingham for the 3rd year in a row. The children had the best time singing with 5,300 other school children.

Subject Priorities
 

1)    Live music - This year, we are aiming to further enrich our music curriculum by exposing the children to high-quality live music. We will be having some musicians coming into school to perform concerts, as well as partnering with Leicestershire Music Hub to appreciate (and perform!) live music in the local community. This will inspire our students to improve their own music skills and enhance their love of music. 

2)    Small group music tuition - This year, we will be promoting small group and 1:1 music tuition in order to give ALL pupils access to learning an instrument. Not only will this encourage independence and confidence, learning an instrument has been proven to have a host of transferable skills including, but not limited to, memory, concentration, reading and counting skills.

3)    Wider opportunities – as our musical skills develop we would like our talents to be shared with our local community. We will be performing at local concerts, churches, hospitals, school events and even at larger events such as Young Voices.

    Music Lead

    Hi everyone!
    I am Mrs Watkins, Kangaroos' class teacher and I have the pleasure of being Music Lead at All Saints. I love to sing and I am proud to run the All Saints' choir. I think music is such an important part of the curriculum and I try to slip in different songs and pieces of music wherever I can. I also strongly believe in the calming effect classical music has on concentration and focus so you will often hear it in my classroom! If you have any questions about Music at All Saints, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office.
