An array of musical experiences
The Music department at Hydesville prepares pupils for lifelong intelligent interactions within a variety of settings. We help develop our pupils’ skills in listening and interpreting, composing and performing music as we recognise these are skills learned at a young age and developed throughout a lifetime.
Our pupils are encouraged and given opportunities to develop interests and abilities that will guide musical pursuits and preferences in their lives. We firmly believe music educates and inspires an individual: it increases cognitive development and reasoning and offers opportunities for young people to express ideas and emotions in lots of creative ways.
A diverse and dynamic music curriculum
In addition to a varied and busy music curriculum we encourage pupils to take part in a wide variety of extra-curricular music classes.
Our ethos is that of inclusion where every child, from Reception age to Year 11, is encouraged and inspired to actively engage in musical activities.
All upper Prep and year 7 pupils will also have the opportunity to learn a brass or woodwind instrument in their weekly class lesson.
