At Otley All Saints we believe a high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.

​

Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity.  As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.

We believe music is more than just a lesson in our curriculum, and are proud of our extra curricular musical activities. We house an amazing choir and orchestra alongside weekly music lessons on a range of instruments.

​

Using Charanga Music School, Otley All Saints ensures that all pupils have the opportunity to explore and develop their musical skills in these ways:

• perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians

• learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence

• understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.
