Music plays a very important role in life at The Gleddings School. We aim to give all of our children an enjoyment of music in its widest sense. This is achieved by hard work and a knowledge of the basic skills required to make music a life enhancing experience. We hope that our children will continue their music after leaving The Gleddings.

Choral music and specialist instrumental tuition

All children take part in choral music and approximately one third of children have instrumental lessons with visiting instrumental specialists. Piano, guitar, violin, flute, clarinet, percussion and other tuition is offered as required. There is a school orchestra, bell-ringing group, string group and all children from Year 3 onwards play the recorder.

Visits are made to concerts given by The Halle and Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras, as well as afternoons at Square Chapel Centre for the Arts.

We know that music helps our children to gain self-confidence, interact socially with their peers and other age groups and develop their creativity, which in turn helps their progress in other areas of the curriculum.
