At Southmere Primary Academy, we provide a high quality music education that engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians which increases their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. Children enjoy specific teaching time for music where they are introduced to different instruments, musicians and genres.

One of the greatest gifts a child can have is the ability to perform or play a musical instrument. We provide all pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 with the opportunity to learn a musical instrument with the children in EYFS taking part in weekly vocal coaching lessons. These are all delivered by specialist teachers from the Bradford Music and Arts Service.

Each year group focuses on learning a different musical instrument throughout the year with instruction from peripatetic specialists in partnership with Bradford Music and Arts service:

Our Year 5’s had the opportunity to attend St George’s Hall to play their clarinets with Manchester’s The Halle Orchestra. It was a fantastic opportunity to see different genres of music as well what can be achieved in a career in music.
