Music

"Without music, life would be a mistake.” – Frederich Nietzsche

Our intent is that children have high quality opportunities to develop their musical skills and understanding through practical lessons. By the time children leave Riverside Primary School, they will have had the opportunity to sing, perform, play, compose and critique music from a variety of genres. They will also have had the opportunity to learn to play a variety of musical instruments. Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity.

Our music education aims to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.
