Curriculum Overview<br />
Music classes have a practical focus. Students learn about music through experiencing, creating and<br />
performing. Each lesson aims to have a balance of composing, performing and listening activities.<br />
Music history, theory and aural studies compliment and support the practical activities. Students have<br />
the opportunity to perform inside as well as outside the classroom in, for example, the Winter/Spring<br />
concerts, in assemblies and at other events.<br />
