New Bridge School
Music
In Music sessions we teach student’s to appreciate music and the sounds around them. All student’s have the opportunity to perform on a variety of instruments and get involved in group and individual compositions. There is a great emphasis on music technology and student’s enjoy accessing a variety of software packages through pc’s, the interactive whiteboard and the soundbeam equipment.
Music can be broken down into four main areas of study: performing, composing, listening and appraising.
The music curriculum offers the pupil/student as wide experience as is possible. Each pupil/student is encouraged to work individually and also to be a member of a small group and at times work with a whole class group.
Pupils/students are encouraged to follow a hands on approach, thus each pupil/student is encouraged to investigate and experiment with sound sources and use these when composing and performing. Pupils/students listen to a variety of musical material of differing styles, periods and cultures. All Pupils/Students will have access to the state of the art recording studio.
