Music
All Music courses include studying types, styles and epoques of music-making. They involve listening and playing. Both primary and secondary schools arrange visits to concerts of all types, run workshops and often have visiting groups or individuals in the school. These can range from playing percussion instruments such as tambourines or marimbas with Early Years and Key Stage 1 students through to having students in their final years at school reaching Grade 5 (GCSE) standard in performance or above.
Many enhance these experiences with opportunities to make music with other schools or with professionals, both at the school and away in other locations. There has been a rapid growth in multicultural music-making at both primary and secondary levels. In particular, the opportunities to learn new and unfamiliar instruments are legion.
Some schools travel abroad and either play to foreign audiences or work with foreign groups, making music together. Over the years many school groups have also put on their plays and musicals at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Most school music workshops are carried out in school but some away-day experiences are on offer where schools work together guided by professionals, such as at the Royal Opera House.
