Music

Back to Curriculum (Years 7-11)

Music speaks to the heart and mind. Rookwood School offers a symphony of opportunities for a musical life.

Skills development

At Rookwood School our Music lessons give pupils an opportunity to develop both their independent and collaborative learning skills including performance, composition and listening skills. A team of dedicated specialist instrumental teachers deliver weekly lessons across a range of instruments to inspire pupils’ love of music.

At Rookwood School we are passionate about our pupils participating in and developing a love for the Arts and we are proud of the opportunities we provide. This video gives an overview of the Music and LAMDA offer from Rookwood.

Other opportunities

A wide variety of extra-curricular activities are available to all and students are encouraged to participate, developing their self-esteem, confidence and creativity.  Opportunities on offer include choir, bell ringing and orchestra. Regular performance opportunities are given to both larger and smaller audiences both for parents and out into the community. For example our pupils perform at local fairs and visit local senior citizen groups to share their music with others beyond the school which we believe is an important gift to share.
