Music is an integral part of Alver Valley Schools and is weaved throughout the academic year in many ways. The children participate in music lessons with their class teachers. They take part in singing assemblies, access the learning of instruments with specialist music teachers from Hampshire Music Service on the ‘Listen to Me Project’. Some children choose to take brass or keyboard lessons with music teachers.
Each week our music leader plans out the music we listen to as we enter and leave assembly. The music genre varies and in the past year has included Opera, Jazz, Soul, Classical, Film Soundtracks, Rock and even Pop. Children have questions to consider as they listen to the music suited to the piece such as:
Every year the Year 1 and 2 children of Alver Valley Schools celebrate Christmas through a new and innovative live Nativity story performance. The children have the best, most festive time, singing and performing alongside their friends. It really brings the school together as they sing their hearts out, especially once they’re in their costumes! They practise hard for weeks and finally get to share their beautiful singing voices with their families.
In the Junior School children have the opportunity to perform each year in the school summer production always a real highlight. In 2023 the children put on a simply amazing performance of Joseph with full stage, sound and lights production.
