At Westbury Park, our music curriculum is designed to help children learn about and experience music so that they develop an appreciation for not only how music is created but also a life-long love of music in all its forms. In school, a broad balance of performance, listening and composition opportunities creates an enriching curriculum that celebrates music from different traditions and from great composers and musicians.

Music lessons are skills based and interactive aiming to foster a passion for music in children of all abilities. Music is a strength of the school with high quality whole school singing and encouragement for children to take up an instrument in addition to their class lessons. It is our vision that class music lessons give the opportunity for children to see themselves as musicians and there is a focus on developing a secure understanding of the inter-related dimensions of music through practical music making. 

Children take part in a number of whole school events during the year. Close partnership with Bristol Beacon and other arts groups enriches our provision and helps provide a stimulating musical experience in the classroom and rich extra-curricular provision. Where possible, professional musicians are invited to work with our children in partnership with significantly enriching our musical offering to all children.
