Music
Our music subject leaders are Miss Walsh and Mr Delaney.
"Music is the universal language of mankind." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Our vision for Music at Holy Spirit
At Holy Spirit, it is our intention that children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing, evaluating, analysing and composing across a wide variety of historical periods, styles, traditions, and musical genres. We follow a scheme called Charanga. We want music to be an enjoyable experience for all children and aim to develop not only their talent as musicians, but also their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. We are committed to helping children the impact music can have and the value of it in the wider community. Our objective is that children are able to use their musical skills, teamed with their progressing musical vocabulary to involve themselves in music, in a variety of different contexts such as concerts, choir, watching a live orchestra, singing at the switching on of the Christmas tree lights in Parr and singing and sharing our talent with the residents of Madison Court Care home.
We often go on visits to widen our cultural experiences of Music. Each class will have the opportunity to visit the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall this year to listen to and watch the world famous Philharmonic Orchestra.
These concerts link directly to Key Stage 2 Science and Geography curriculum by inspiring pupils to develop a curiosity and fascination about the Earth's key physical and human processes.
