Statement of Intent
During our Music lessons at St. John’s, we aspires to provide children with the opportunity to learn, experience and perform, specialising in the ukulele throughout Key Stage 2.
At Key Stage 1, we offer a range of instrumental opportunities to enrich our pupils’ musical experience and to evoke a love for the performing arts, including performance opportunities during the Christmas performance. At Key Stage 2, We invest in a service level agreement with Durham Music Service to ensure our children experience expert tuition in the ukulele. We want all our children to experience ‘real’ instrumental tuition at an early age on an instrument that is affordable and can be transferred onto other stringed instruments.
By the time our children leave they will have played melody, chords, have a firm understanding of key musical vocabulary and performed as part of a group to an adult audience.
