Music

 At Pelham we want all pupils to:

  • Have a sense of enjoyment whilst developing an interest in and love of music.
  • Be inspired by composers, musicians and those in the wider music industry.
  • Appreciate the diversity of musical genres across cultures and time periods and have an awareness of how past events and key figures have shaped these.
  • Understand the key musical elements (dynamics, duration, tempo, pitch, timbre, texture and structure).
  • Create, compose, listen to and perform a variety of music.
  • Have the opportunity to learn an instrument in some depth.

 

We do this by: 

 

 

 

  • Teaching engaging music lessons weekly.
  • Offering specialist music lessons provided by the Merton Music Foundation (guitar, piano and flute), Rock Steady and DCP Drums.
  • Providing flute lessons for children in Year 4.
  • Giving each class the opportunity to perform class assemblies, productions and shows, which incorporate singing and musical elements.
  • Taking Year 5 to the Royal Albert Hall to sing with others of their age group.
  • Holding music assemblies weekly.
