John Madejski Academy

Music

Intent

Our aim at JMA is to ensure that all students leave with a high-quality music education that engages, inspires and develops their understanding and appreciation of Music. As students progress they will increase their self-confidence and creativity through a diverse range of curriculum topics. We will motivate and encourage students to improve their skills, enhance their knowledge of Music and provide a platform for them to be expressive and create their own work.

Music students at JMA will:

  • Understand the key elements of Music and appropriate musical notations
  • Develop keyboard skills and will have the opportunity to learn other instruments
  • Perform on a variety of instruments and sing, both individually and as part of a group
  • Learn to compose Music in a variety of styles
  • Listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of different historical periods, genres, styles and traditions
  • Learn how to appraise their work and the work of others
