Why study music?

At King's Leadership Academy, the Music Department envisions a rich and transformative learning experience where students embark on a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration through the study of music. Our vision is to nurture the musical spirit within every student, preparing them to excel in music and beyond.

What will you study at KS3? 

At Key Stage 3, students begin their musical journey by exploring the fundamental elements of music and how these can be identified and applied across a diverse range of performance disciplines. We recognize the diversity of talents within each class and are committed to preserving and nurturing their innate curiosity about music.

Through our curriculum, students will develop fundamental skills in music performance and composition, utilising various instrumental techniques. Students will explore a wide array of musical styles, embracing both traditional and contemporary genres. Students will also embrace modern digital music production techniques, empowering them to create innovative and modern compositions.

What will you study at KS4?

As students progress to Key Stage 4, they will further deepen their understanding of music and its various styles by analysing their components and replicating them through practical application. Our goal is to empower students to become professional musicians in the modern industry and guide them in applying their knowledge and skills in their musical journey.

During Key Stage 4, students will develop a critical understanding of musical styles, dissecting their components, and applying this knowledge in their own musical creations.They will cultivate the skills necessary to excel as professional musicians in the modern music industry. By the end of their journey students will showcase their growth and creativity by independently crafting highly developed performances and original music compositions.

Our Music Department is a place where every student explores their musical potential, where passion for music thrives, and where a supportive environment fosters growth and self-confidence. We not only teach musical skills but also instil a lifelong love for music, preparing students to excel in the world of music and beyond.
