Music

The Music department at Arthur Mellows Village College is a vibrant and exciting place to learn and enjoy music. We teach a varied curriculum, focusing on students engaging in practical activities in a wide range of musical styles and traditions. We are fortunate to have a purpose built music technology room, complete with Apple Mac computers running a variety of musical software.
We have two full time members of staff, and a part time member. We also have a range of peripatetic staff that teach instrumental lessons within the department. Lessons are available on Brass instruments, Strings, Woodwind, Voice, Guitar/Bass, Piano and Keyboard.

At Key Stage 3, students follow a programme of activities that encourages them to be performing musicians, creative composers and inquisitive listeners. All students sing, and all students learn the basic skills on Keyboards and Drum Kit.

At Key Stage 4 we run the Music GCSE. This is a popular option in Years 10 and 11, and students are very successful. All students develop their skills in performance, composition and listening to music.
At Key Stage 5 we offer both Music A Level and a BTEC Subsidiary Diploma in Music.
