Music Club

Music club is a fun, pre-instrumental club for children of Reception age based Boxgrove Primary School.  It prepares them to learn any musical instrument by teaching them basic music concepts through songs, rhymes and games.  

​At Music Club children learn songs and rhymes through imitation, just as they have already learned to speak. Gradually what they have learned is made conscious and given names and symbols and so they become musically literate in the same way they learned (or are learning) to read, through listening, imitating and speaking before introducing symbols.

So much music teaching starts from the symbols, however good music teaching starts with the sounds, builds understanding of concepts though movement and singing and moves towards the symbols.  Learning in this way ensures that when your child is ready to start learning any instrument the basic musical concepts and skills will be in place and they will be much more confident learners who understand what they are doing and are able to apply their understanding to a musical instrument in a musical way. ​
