Music is a core component of life in our Edinburgh Junior School, and
we take pride in making it inclusive and practical for everyone,
regardless of experience. We have our own music facilities and access to
our renowned Robertson Music Centre. With two weekly music lessons
taught by dedicated Junior School music teachers, each class enjoys a
comprehensive music education.
The Junior School Music
specialist teacher introduces all students to the excitement and
challenges of the subject, providing students with the skills they need
to create and understand the language of music.
Ensembles in the Junior School include:
- Primary Strings (P4-P5)
- Junior School Choir (P3-P5)
- Junior School Guitar Ensemble (P3-5)
- Junior School Recorder Group (P4-P5)
Girls
can also take individual music lessons and learn one or more musical
instruments to explore and develop their musical abilities further and
taster lessons are made available to all students.
A range of
instruments are used for music making in lessons and Music Play software
is available to children to develop their skills in using music
technology.
Performance opportunities include Performance
Platforms, musicals in each year group, Junior School Winter and Summer
Concerts and more.
