I -Imagination. Pupils are encouraged to use their imagination to improvise and compose their own pieces of music. R – Reflecting. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on musical pieces and performances they experience. E - Engage. We provide engaging and enjoyable Music lessons which are accessible by all pupils. |

Currently, we have the following Peripatetic music provision for music available for children to continue and extend their learning in music: Flute, Clarinet, Guitar and (as a band) electric guitar, drums, keyboard or singing - we currently have 9 bands!

Try your own Clapping games at home!
Sevens clapping game
New clapping game
Create your own clapping game that you could teach to others. Remember:
- You can add finger clicks.
- Cross your hands over.
- Touch parts of your body if it makes the pattern /rhythm/beat more exciting.
- Use your voice for sound in certain parts if it fits into your clapping game.
- Make sure it's challenging for others, but easy enough for them to memorise and learn.
- Perhaps make them do it backwards.
- Try it in a 'round.'
- Make it fun! Experiment with any ideas that you have!
Have a go at this Clapping Challenge if you have time!
