Music

Our Music Vision

At Holy Trinity, we value music as a fundamental part of the children’s primary school experience. From participating in whole school singing to individual instrumental lessons, festive productions to class music lessons, visiting performers to local musical performances, all children are provided with a wealth of musical opportunities during their time here

Our music vision is for all pupils to experience a variety of music genres – confidently listening to, and appraising pieces; and being inspired to create and perform their own compositions inspired by what they have heard.

We are proud to be able to offer our children the opportunity to learn a broad range of different instruments throughout their time at Holy Trinity. By the time our children leave us, they are confident to take their music learning forwards, be it continuing with individual music tuition, or simply having a love of music.
