Music at St Joseph's
At St Joseph's we are passionate about music and we aim for students to be happy, enthusiastic and eager learners. We believe that our students should be inspired by music and have opportunities to participate in a variety of musical experiences.
Our music curriculum is designed to develop a love of music, musical knowledge and skills. Through the Charanga programme, the students have an understanding of what music is through listening and responding activities, singing, playing interactive games based on musical elements and evaluating music styles.
In Key Stage 2, students are given opportunities to participate in a variety of musical experiences, as well as participating in weekly instrumental lessons. From whole class recorder and glockenspiel lessons in Lower key Stage 2 to African drumming in Upper Key Stage, our pupils develop a knowledge of the impact music has had on culture and tradition. Performance plays a vital part of developing confidence and pupils are keen to share their talents at concerts and community events, such as the Parish Day.
The school choir provides opportunities for pupils to learn a repertoire of songs and rehearse as a group to refine their choral skills. Pupils who join choir attend events to share their passions, singing at the Young Voices Concert and community events. The choir will now also be leading the singing at all school masses throughout the year.
Learning an Instrument at St Josephs
At St Josephs, we currently offer piano, violin and Rock Steady lessons. We are hoping to increase the range of musical instruments available to learn privately at school. We ask that parents either email the school office to request this, or directly email Bucks Music Trust requesting lessons be started at St Josephs.
