CURRICULUM MUSIC
Working with schools to bring music to the Curriculum - consultancy, CPD, INSET, training and music provision in schools across Sussex.
At Sussex Music School, we believe that all children have a right to a good quality Music Education.
Sussex Music School provide National Curriculum lessons in schools. Lessons are well structured for progression but allow space and time for creativity. We also offer INSET (read more).
By becoming a partner school there are so many opportunities open to you and your staff to aid in bringing an effective music provision to reach all pupils.
All
children will learn:
Singing
Performing skills
Music reading skills
Improvising
Composing
Listening skills including to great musicians and composers
Children learn effectively through playing classroom percussion, their own instrument where they learn one outside the
classroom and the use of ICT.
Lessons cover the National Curriculum requirements. In primary
schools, a teaching assistant is expected to be present throughout to aid the visiting teacher as
necessary.
Sessions in Primary schools last ½ hour (KS1) or 45-60 minutes (KS2). A typical secondary lesson lasts 1 hour.
