Music

At Chase Terrace Academy we aspire for all of our pupils to achieve greater things than they ever thought possible.  

We pride ourselves on being a warm and welcoming school that places community at the heart of everything we do. Our ambitious curriculum is enriching and inclusive, providing challenge and breadth for all. This empowers our pupils to become compassionate, confident and creative individuals who are resilient, respectful and equipped with a desire to take up a fulfilling role in society and the wider world.

In Music we aspire to build confidence and ability in all aspects of music making through performing, composing and listening in a variety of genres of music. Specialist tuition is provided to enable a fully interactive musical experience which can enable pupils to take the subject as an option and lead to a fulfilling career in the music industry.

Extracurricular enrichment opportunities are a hugely important part of the department, consequently pupils are offered the opportunity to develop as musicians through a range of performing activities including school shows, concerts and other community based showcases.

The playing of a musical instrument or vocal training offers a lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of music and as such instrumental tuition is offered to all pupils who might wish to take up the challenge.
