Music
Music at St Luke's
“Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life and to everything”
[Plato]
Our Vision: to LEARN, to succeed, to value one another
Music is important because it can provide fulfilment throughout life. It is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way pupils feel, think and act. It transcends different cultures, abilities and generations.
Listening to and making music fulfils an instinctive human need for self-expression and creativity. It stimulates responses on both emotional and intellectual levels.
Besides being a creative and enjoyable activity, music can also be a highly academic and challenging subject. It is a subject that allows every child to succeed, to feel valued and gain a sense of achievement.
At St. Luke's music is usually taught on a weekly basis by class teachers.
In Year 3, children work with leading music teachers from Liverpool Anglican Cathedral throughout the Year. This culminates in a concert at the Cathedral where children play their own compositions.
In Year 4 and 5, children receive whole class brass tuition (trumpet, baritone or trombone) for half of the year. This is taught by Mrs Hughes, an experienced music teacher from Sefton Music Hub.
Lessons run from Febuary half term of Year 4 through to February half term of Year 5.
