MUSIC @ TAYLORS LAKES PRIMARY SCHOOL
At Taylors Lakes Primary School our music program offers an hourly session for all children from Prep – Grade 6. Each session focuses on developing musical intelligence, building self-esteem and confidence. Areas and topics covered in music range from instrumental families and instrument recognition to musical elements and sound exploration. The styles of music, song structure and world music are also covered and explored.
In addition to the classroom music session, children can take part in Instrumental Programs. The groups are seen as Enrichment Programs that are provided by our music department to further develop and extend students. Each year the groups are formed with new students, therefore the sound and ideas created are unique and different.
Grade 3 & 4: School Choir
Grade 5 & 6: The Middle Years Percussion Ensemble
The Metro Music Program is an outside organisation that provides private and group music lessons to students during class time. This opportunity allows children to further their musical skills by learning an instrument such as Keyboard and Guitar.
Benefits of Music
Music is a learning area that is valued highly at TLPS. The benefits of music making are recognised and celebrated through whole school events such as ‘Music Count Us In’ and ‘Making Music Being Well’.
