At Our Lady's Catholic School, the teaching of music develops pupils' ability to listen and appreciate a wide variety of music and gives them an opportunity to make judgements about the quality of music in general. In music lessons, pupils are encouraged to be actively involved in different forms of amateur music making, both individually and in groups. Music activities include the playing of instruments, singing and performing simple movement which aids the experience of rhythm.

 

Miss McCorriston leads our music sessions, she runs the school choir and also leads ocarina and ukulele clubs.  Children who attend specialist music lessons are given the opportunity to perform twice a year in school along with the school choir. Opportunities are also provided for children to participate in city wide events. At the end of every term, a year group puts on a production, in this way providing further opportunities for pupils to sing and play instruments, and the whole school are also taught new songs on a regular basis, which are sung during Mass.
