About Music at The David Ross Education Trust We believe that an academy that embraces music is not just an academy with a good music department, i t is one where the underlying principles of high-quality music-making; of listening, adapting, exploring, persevering, problem-solving, thinking laterally and performing without fear, are seen in every student and every teacher. We aim for our students to experience music in school as a normal, everyday activity, making music through singing, performing and composing, listening to music with increasing understanding, and participating in performances as performers and as audience members. We want our students to have the opportunity to progress their musical interests and talents, including professionally. Our goals are: All students experience excellent music teaching in the classroom, with its focus on developing musical understanding – how music works and how it conveys meaning. Students have the opportunity to learn an instrument, with 1:1 / group lessons taking place during the school day, and to practise individually and rehearse in instrumental and vocal groups before school, during lunchtime and after school. Students participate in a series of musical events running through the year – assemblies, house music competitions, student concerts, school shows, workshops, residencies, arts weeks, trips to professional concerts – in which they experience music as a vital element in public culture.
