The Arts – Music

We are very proud to offer Specialist Music education at Edney Primary School.

Students are being encouraged to participate in all areas of music from performance to writing music to learning to read music.

Students are involved in making, listening and responding to music and performance and are developing skills to read, write, play and make music.

Students are also learning performance skills, both on the stage, and in being a respectful, responsive and engaged audience member.

In Music classes we have focused on the Composers, from classical to modern, as well as music of many genres, cultures and styles.

Students learn and experience a variety of instruments including body percussion, percussion instruments, glockenspiel, xylophones, drums, recorders, boomwhackers and ukulele.

Years 3 and 4 are focused on the recorder and learning to play as a group. Year 5 and
6 will be learning the ukulele, playing chords and notes to form an ensemble.

We have IMMS lessons on Classical Guitar, Brass and Woodwind.

CHOIR

Choir for Year 3 to 6 is run on Wednesday morning at 8am, all students are welcome. Students are encouraged to take part and learn the lyrics in their own time so that when we come together as a group we can focus on the harmonies, perfecting melody, and the dynamics of the piece. We perform at One Big Voice and have many other performance opportunities throughout the year.
