Music

We offer a rich and varied music programme that engages and includes every child, fostering a lifelong appreciation for music. From their first days in school, children are taught music, and they follow a diverse curriculum that develops their knowledge, confidence and creativity. As part of this, they learn to sing, to perform a range of instruments, and to create and compose music on their own and alongside others. In Year 3, pupils learn to play the violin as part of the music curriculum. This is taught by a specialist teacher from Stevenage Music Centre.

Music at Ashtree Primary Academy goes well beyond lessons. Our weekly singing assemblies bring the school together in song, and we have a range of popular musical clubs (both choral and instrumental). All children perform in school concerts each year, sharing their achievements with family and friends, while we also perform regularly for other members of our community, including residents at older people’s homes.
