The Intent
We work with our partners at Brent Music Service to ensure we have skilled music teachers working with our staff and children at Anson Primary School.
"Supporting the right of all children and young people in Brent to an excellent music education which inspires, enriches lives and develops a life-long love of music" - Brent Music Service
The Implementation
Music'sCool is Brent Music Service's exciting, multi-cultural music programme for schools, providing high quality music lessons, linked to the National Curriculum and delivered by music specialists in Brent primary schools.
It is a classroom-based programme which teaches music in a fun and creative, yet structured manner in partnership with class teachers. The carefully designed, progressive syllabus develops children’s musical skills and understanding in a practical way from Nursery through to Year 6.
With singing and performing at its heart, the programme gives children the opportunity to learn several instruments from a range of musical traditions. Working alongside the school staff, the lessons are repeated and rehearsed throughout the week.
Instruments include:
Recorder
Ukulele
Body Percussion
Tamboo Bamboo
African Drumming
Samba
Rap
Beatboxing
What's included?
As our vision is all about happy, confident and creative children with a lifelong love of learning, it will come as no surprise that music is fun, allows children to express themselves musically and emotionally and ensures they develop the skills and confidence to perform.
As a result we see this in:
pupils performing at events locally in the school choir
whole school musical performances in assemblies
regular singing and composition in class showcases
entry into competitions and events such as the London Borough of Culture
song writing for Digital Leaders, Eco Council or filmmaking.
