Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. At St. John’s we ensure we provide a high-quality music education which engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, whilst increasing their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As our children 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.

Music is part of everyday life here at St. John’s as we encourage our children to experience a range of music types through listening, singing and moving to music as well as learning songs and poems which support learning across all areas of our curriculum. We want our children to experiences music from different cultures and time periods understanding that music is an important part of our history.

Rochdale Music Service

We have a wonderful relationship with Rochdale Music Service who provide individual and group music lessons here in school. The cost of these music lessons is paid for by parents who must commit to their child taking up the instrument for the minimum of a year.  A range of instruments can be chosen.
