Subject – Music

Music lessons at Brompton Hall are planned with the intention of helping boys in Key Stage 2 and 3 to experience, enjoy and understand music from a wide variety of historical periods, styles, traditions, and genres.  They will do this by composing their own music, learning to perform the music of others and asking and answering questions about the recorded and live music they listen to during lessons and workshops.

 

Classroom learning is enriched with live workshops given by professional musicians that are hosted at the school in partnership with Live Music Now. We have been visited by groups as diverse as a folk band, jazz ensemble, guitarist, recorder player and opera singers, harp and flute duo and brass quintet.

 

The intention that underpins this is that pupils engage in and enjoy music at school and explore opportunities to make music beyond the classroom.
