General Music Lessons
These are designed to involve all children, wherever they fit into the Commitment and Skills Continuum, in enjoyable and stimulating, musical activities – Listening and Responding, Performing, Composing. Given that, as they move upwards from year 1 to 8, classes will vary unpredictably in commitment and skills, it is considered better not to attempt to work to a planned, progressive curriculum.

The Aims
The aim of the Music Department at Copthorne School is to maintain an environment in which music and musicians are generally valued and respected, in order that every child may be encouraged to participate and to develop to towards his or her own potential.
