Music

Music Subject Lead- Mrs Bland (Year 1 Class Teacher)

Music is an important part of Lunsford Primary School. In timetabled lessons, children learn rhythm, melody, percussion technique, singing and music appreciation. Every week we have a singing assembly where children learn a wide variety of new songs. 

Children in Key Stage 2 are given the free opportunity to play the violin in group lessons. Those children that want to continue with this can then do so, although there is a cost to these additional lessons.

During the year, children put on performances for Christmas, show assemblies and a year 6 leavers production – all these involve music and singing to an audience. Whenever possible, the school attends local music festivals and events, including the Maidstone League of Friends Christmas Fair in Larkfield Village Hall. Last year some of the Y6 children entertained the shoppers at Tesco with a rendition of their Christmas songs.

 

Some of the children take part in rock band music lessons, with the 'iRock' team. These sessions take place every Monday afternoon and allow them to work with experienced and passionate band coaches. They encourage the children to work as a team to develop not only musical skills, but also life skills that provide a solid foundation for later in life.
