Nurturing a Lifelong Love for Performance and Creativity
At Laleham Lea, music is more than just a subject; it is the heartbeat of our school. From their first days in Nursery through to their final year in Year 6, our pupils embark on a musical journey that fosters self-confidence, discipline, and a deep appreciation for the arts.
Our Curriculum
Led by our dedicated Music Teacher, Mrs. Corrigan, every child enjoys weekly music lessons designed to build a strong foundational “musical toolkit.” Pupils explore:
-
Core Fundamentals: Mastering rhythm, pitch, pulse, and structure.
-
Global Perspectives: Studying a diverse range of genres, instruments, and historical themes.
-
Progressive Learning: All pupils from Year 3 to Year 6 learn the Recorder, developing technical skill and notation literacy year-over-year.
The School Choir & Ensembles
Performance is a shared experience at Laleham Lea. Every Tuesday afternoon, our Junior School Choir gathers to rehearse, blending voices and building a sense of collective achievement. For those learning instruments, our School Orchestra and various ensembles provide the perfect platform to play alongside their peers.
