Key Stage 3
STCM Music Department follows the National Curriculum Key Stage 3 and involves world music, traditional and modern forms of music and covers a wide range of experience in composing original music, playing and listening to music by established composers.
Year 7
We concentrate on learning to read basic notation and perform music, using a range of instruments. Students are given the opportunity to compose on their own and in groups.
Year 8
We build on the skills and knowledge acquired in Year 7 giving students more chance to perform and compose in specific styles of music they learn about.
Year 9
This year is designed to give students the basic skills that they will need if they wish to carry on into GCSE Music. Composition will be featured regularly as will performances. Students are encouraged to perform to their peers and develop their own styles and skills.
