Music

The quality of our music provision is something we are very proud of at Earlswood. We employ a full time music specialist, Andrew Scullin, to work with all the children and support our teachers. From our orchestra and choirs, to our one to one tutors from Surrey Arts, there are an increasing number of opportunities to get involved with music at Earlswood, regardless of ability.

We are lucky enough to have our own music room and a wealth of instruments and resources. We use digital equipment to expand the student’s knowledge of composition and structure and incorporate more in depth techniques such as audio technology using our iPads and excellent recording facilities.

Every year group has a great deal of exposure to music throughout the academic year whether it’s singing and rhythm work with the Infants, building instruments in Year 3, learning the ukulele in Year 4 or composing and recording in Years 5 and 6, music will always provide something new and exciting to engage the pupils.

Choir

Our choir is increasing in popularity and we have catered for this extra demand by having two junior choir sessions and also adding an Infant choir.

Our choirs take part in several exciting events throughout the school year. These include a carol concert at St. John’s church and the Primary School Music Festival at The Dorking Halls.

Our choirs pride themselves on being inclusive. Even if your child isn’t confident in their ability to sing, we provide the perfect environment for them to build their confidence and improve their singing technique in a fun and friendly way.

Please bear in mind that we expect all members of the choir to participate in all of our performances - it is quite a big commitment but thoroughly worth it.

Music Group

Our inclusive music group is for pupils who enjoy composing music and playing instruments. Pupils have the opportunity to develop their collaborative music skills and learn to play a song together, making decisions about how it will sound.
