Music
At St. Michael at Bowes, we know and appreciate the importance of music, not only as part of our school curriculum but also for the role it continues to play in all of our lives beyond the classroom. Our music curriculum is designed to promote a love of music, giving all pupils the opportunity to develop their singing skills in an ensemble setting, learn an instrument and develop a strong understanding of the interrelated dimensions of music – in listening and appraising and in improvising and composing for their own pieces. We ensure they experience a range of musical styles, genres and time periods in order to develop a full appreciation of the similarities and differences and form their own opinions by finding something they love. Our aim is to develop new skills and interests while recognising and building on existing abilities.
