Music
Our music provision at Jubilee Wood is supported by a specialist music teacher who at different stages of the year teaches all year groups for their weekly music lessons. Whole class lessons are taught for a range of instruments from Years 2 to 6:
- Ocarina
- Recorder
- Ukelele
- Keyboards
- Guitar
Many of our children also have one-to-one weekly music lessons in violin and guitar.
Proud to perform
Each year, the many children learning an instrument perform for their parents and the rest of the school in a Musicians’ Celebration Assembly. Our weekly junior choir club is enthusiastically attended in very large numbers, with the choir performing for audiences throughout the year, including at the annual Young Voices evening concert in Birmingham with thousands of other primary age children from across the country.
Each year our Year 6 children perform a musical with the children singing showtunes, both collectively and sometimes solo – this musical theatre sees the children at their dramatic best and gives them the confidence to perform before an audience. The infants performing their nativity musical and regular ‘Class Assemblies’, which parents are always invited to, also give the children the frequent chance to practice their performance skills and to sing with control and confidence.
Music for the mind
A weekly after-school music club for the infants with our specialist teacher further supports our younger children’s musical growth. Weekly singing assemblies are very much enjoyed by the children, allowing them to sing as part of a supportive and caring community, enhancing good mental health and wellbeing.
Any parents interested in their child learning an instrument in a small group setting should contact the school office for further details.
