Music Music is taught to all students at Stretford Grammar School and the aim is to ensure all students can read Musical notation of various forms, compose and perform in different styles and be able to identify key features of different Musical Genres by the end of Year 9 in order to prepare them for KS4. Lessons are mainly practical with an opportunity to work alone, in pairs and in larger groups for half termly assessments. Some lessons will include some written, listening and brief analysis and written work. There are always a wide variety of extension tasks for those students who already play an instrument and read Music so they have the same level of challenge as someone in the class who is new to the subject. At the end of Year 9, 4 skills are tested – Performing, Composing, Appraising and Listening. Unit 1 -Reggae Music Students will study the following: Baseline assessment to find out prior knowledge which includes written, listening and practical activities.
