Music
This is a summary of how we deliver music education to all our pupils across three areas – curriculum music, co-curricular provision and musical experiences – and what changes we are planning in future years. This information is to help pupils and parents or carers understand what we offer and who we work with to support our pupils’ music education.
We are very proud of our music provision, which is a real strength at Sandfield, where we aim to engage and inspire our children with a love of music and singing. We introduce our children to a wide range of music and songs from a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including world music and the works of great composers and musicians.
All children learn to read music as part of their music lessons. In year 4, children have the opportunity to learn to play a stringed instrument as part of our collaboration with Guildford Grammar School.
Singing is taught during music lessons, class lessons as well as during the weekly singing assemblies.
We provide a range of opportunities for our children to sing in public, and our choir sings at the Guildford Schools Music Festival at G-Live in Guildford each year.
Violin and cello lessons are available from Surrey Arts at a cost to parents. Please contact them directly here.
