CURRICULUM
Music Curriculum
Music at Shireland Biomedical builds on the foundational skills developed in primary school while nurturing well-rounded musicians. Students are given opportunities to develop confidence in performance, both as soloists and as members of an ensemble, and to compose a range of musical styles in response to a given brief. The curriculum aims to foster creativity, technical skill, and self-assurance, enabling all students to express themselves musically with confidence.
In each year they have two types of units: a performance unit and a composition unit. Below are the following topics they cover:
| Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 |
Unit 1 Performance | Elements of Music | Vocalise | World Music |
Unit 2 Composition | Instruments of the Orchestra | Film & Game music- Character Themes | Rap and Hip-Hop |
All performances are done on keyboards, whilst all compositions are made on the website Bandlab for Education.
