Key Stage 3
Music is a unique form of communication which can change the way students think, feel and act and therefore the sole aim in each music lesson is to make music! The Music curriculum at King Edward VI School covers a diverse range of musical traditions and periods, enabling students to appreciate a wide variety of music. Students are taught music through the three disciplines of performing, appraising and composing, and are encouraged to explore their own ideas and skills through solo work, as well as developing their collaborative skills through ensemble work.
Art
Creativity is encouraged by employing as wide a variety of media as possible. Drawing, painting and sculpture skills are taught in order to develop the imagination and inventiveness of the individual. Pupils will also learn how to appreciate and evaluate works of Art from many cultures.
