MUSIC PRACTICE CURRICULUM INTENT
At North Chadderton School, the Performing Arts curriculum aims to engage, empower and inspire students to develop their creative potential. Our hierarchical curriculum enables students to build up their knowledge sequentially so that they are able to re-create professional repertoire and become creators of original thought-provoking work, through an in-depth understanding of how the arts have evolved. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of challenging texts, genres and composers to enable them to establish their own preferred style, which they will explore in depth. This intends to support students' ability to create original work which encompasses the fundamental, devising, chorographical and composing techniques which will enable them to create performances to a very high standard.

 

WHY MUSIC PRACTICE?

Music is an exciting subject that provides a vocational education in contemporary music. Through the course, you will develop your skills as a performer through workshops, independent practice, instrument lessons and performances. You will gain exposure to a range of genres and contemporary music artists and will develop your passion and understanding of music along the way. The qualification will enable you to develop your performance skills, both individually and with others. You will develop your ability to produce electronic music using our state-of-the-art software and midi controllers and you will learn about a range of musical genres, developing your ability to analyse musical features.

 

The course will also allow you to develop your professional skills, such as self-development, independent practice, responding to a brief, planning and time management through a practical and skills-based approach to learning and assessment. If you have a keen interest in music and enjoy singing or playing an instrument, this course is for you. You will have numerous opportunities to perform, both individually and with other students, and will develop as a musician throughout the course.
