It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, and life to everything” (Plato) Music has the power to transform lives and all children have the right to access consistent, high quality, and meaningful musical learning experiences. At Coldfall Primary School we aspire for our pupils to develop high levels of intrinsic musicality through a rich and exciting curriculum; ensuring they have the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to become lifelong musicians. It is our vision that through these experiences our pupil’s emotional, social and personal development will be deeply enhanced. WHAT WE'RE DOING EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROVISION What We’re Learning All children at Coldfall receive weekly music lessons with a specialist teacher. Our curriculum aims to give children the opportunity to develop performance, composition and listening skills through exploring a variety of musical styles, traditions and genres and by taking part in a wide range of activities including; African Drumming, Music Technology, Samba, and whole class instrumental tuition in recorder and ukulele. Children also learn to read staff notation and explore classical music through creative projects. Singing Singing is very important at Coldfall. It is firmly embedded into our daily routine, through singing assemblies, staff singing and our brilliant choirs. We also use singing across the school to enhance learning in all curriculum areas. Instruments Over 300 of our talented children learn an instrument through school, and even more have private lessons. Lessons in violin, piano and guitar are available through Haringey Music Education Hub. We also offer tuition in flute, saxophone, clarinet and trumpet as part of our ‘in-house’ Wind Instrumental Programme. Additionally, we offer one-to-one singing lessons through school.
