Music
Music and the Performing Arts are a huge part of our STEAM curriculum. We have singing assemblies, Performing Arts projects throughout the year and instrumental lessons alongside our progressive Music curriculum which is accessed by all children.
Our curriculum offers children a broad range of musical experiences. We teach the National Curriculum expectations for Music and integrate performing, listening, composing, and learning about significant pieces of Music throughout history. Our school subscribes to the Charanga music scheme so that children can develop their singing, performance skills, and awareness of musical notation.
Our curriculum offers a range of performance opportunities for all children. During the Performing Arts-focused term of our STEAM curriculum, all classes will prepare and deliver a performance as part of their learning journey. We show Nativity performances and concerts at Christmas and will be preparing end of year productions during the Summer terms.
The Oxfordshire County Music Service offer ukulele lessons to children in Key Stage 2. All children in the class will learn to play a ukulele with a specialist teacher who helps them to further their understanding of technical musical terminology and musical literacy.
Our music offer now includes piano, guitar, cornet, flute and violin through the OCC music service.
Piano Lessons
Private piano lessons take place at Longford once a week with our peripatetic piano teacher. For more information please contact Michael Davies at MJ Music Services.
