MHS Music teaching has an inbuilt aim that our children should enjoy listening and performing whilst developing an understanding of music. We seek to give them an appropriately balanced programme of composing, performing, listening and appraising in relation to the National Curriculum at Key Stages Two and Three.

Full-time children at Moon Hall receive one lesson of Music each week and we also seek to foster an awareness of different types of music via the sound system installed in our building. Musical projects cover a wide range of musical styles and periods developing an appreciation of our diverse cultural heritage. We teach music in a way that every child can relate to, at differentiated levels in an essentially practical course.

We aim for children to gain basic keyboard/instrumental and vocal skills. We encourage individuals to learn an instrument if they can and to sit for graded examinations provided this does not mean them being absent from Literacy or Numeracy teaching.
