Music at The Crescent Primary School

The music curriculum at The Crescent Primary School provides a diverse range of opportunities for the children. The school are proud to have been recognised by Music Mark as providing outstanding music provision and we work hard to ensure every pupil has the opportunity to play a musical instrument, participate in concerts and productions and to develop musicianship skills.

To find out more about music at The Crescent and our plans for the future, please see our Music Development Plan which is linked at the bottom of this page.

Singing and being part of the community

At the heart of our school is singing and we are proud to have been awarded the Gold Sing Up award. Singing builds confidence, self-esteem and teamwork and is also good for our mental health.

We have a singing assembly each week for each key stage and we have a range of choirs from Year R to Year 6. Our children love singing and we perform regularly at school and within our local community.

Instrumental and singing lessons 2025-26

Every child has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and every class receives a dedicated music lesson. 

We also offer individual instrumental lessons in Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone, Brass, Violin, Keyboard, Ukulele, Piano, Drums, Guitar and singing. These lessons (apart from drums) are provided by our peripatetic company Discover the Music. Please click on the attached document below to find out more and to sign up for lessons.

Rock2theBeat

We are fortunate enough to be able to provide our pupils with the opportunity to join Rock2theBeat. The Rock2theBeat team have been working with our pupils for a number of years now, and the whole school always look forward to their termly concerts where we get to see what the children have put together. The children are able to learn a range of instruments, and then get to put their skills into practise by forming a band! Please look at the attached documents for more information and guidance on how to sign up for lessons.

Our Vocal Ambassadors attend a range of workshops and then complete some school based tasks with the aim of helping to improve our singing provision throughout the school.

Here are our wonderful members of the orchestra. They meet every Thursday for rehearsals, and they enjoy performing at a range of events throughout the school year.
