The Music Curriculum

Music has power! Music can transport the listener to a different time and place. It can change how we are feeling and connect us to memories of the past and the world around us.

At New Mills School, the Music department strives to engage learners with that emotional journey. Through listening and performing, students develop an understanding and appreciation of diverse musical traditions and the rich culture that pioneered and moulded the music industry as we hear it today.  We seek to inspire students to explore their own identity and self-expression through a variety of musical activities to perform, compose and listen to music from different starting points.
