Music at Roade Primary School


The children throughout the school receive 45 minutes music tuition per week.  The lessons follow the National Curriculum.  Each year group covers six different elements of music, which are detailed in the long term planning document below.  From Reception to Year 6 the children cover these elements through singing, playing a variety of tuned and untuned percussion instruments, and through musical appreciation.  The children listen to a variety of musical genres from around the world including classical, jazz, rock, pop, country and Latin American.  In Key Stage 2 the children learn to read musical notation during recorder lessons.  To enhance the children’s learning, workshops and external musical visits and performances are organised in addition to class lessons.


In addition to curriculum music lessons the children in Years 4, 5 and 6 may join the choir and orchestra.  All children are welcome to join the choir, but for the orchestra, musicians are expected to be of at least Grade 1 standard and to attend an audition.  These musical groups perform within school and also at cluster and community events.  Many of our pupils go on to join the Roade Community Choir and Orchestra.


As part of our music provision at school, we are able to offer instrumental music lessons, taught by visiting tutors from the Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Service.  Instruments can usually be provided to beginners, free of charge for the first year of tuition (with the exception of keyboards and guitars).  There is a charge for these lessons.  Again pupils may be involved in a simple selection process to assess suitability.  We are currently offering tuition for keyboard, guitar, violin, cello, clarinet, flute, horn and cornet.  Key Stage 2 children are eligible for these lessons.  Our talented musicians are given the opportunity to perform in assemblies and at other school events.


We are very proud of the music abilities and enthusiasm of our pupils at Roade Primary School.
