Subject Vision:

At St. Luke’s, our vision is to make music an active and influential part of everyday school life. It should be something that is celebrated, endorsed and encouraged in all aspects of our learning and living. We want to inspire the minds of tomorrow to be creative and proactive musicians. We want to encourage our children to be lifelong learners and appreciators of music from different eras and cultures. At the heart, we want them to make musical choices based upon their feelings, understanding, and experiences of this subject.

Further enrichment is important, with opportunities to experience music outside of the classroom and use musical skills within different contexts. A successful Junior Choir is one such example of offered enrichment, with children gaining a sense of achievement, at all levels of attainment, where practice, hard work, success and the love of music are enjoyed and acknowledged by peers, staff, parents and the wider school community.

Over the course of a year, a class has the opportunity to learn an instrument through the Kingston Music Service (KMS) Wider Opportunities Programme. In recent years, children within Year 4 have learnt to play the Djembe drums, clarinet or ukulele.

Kingston Music Service (KMS) is the lead organisation for the Kingston Music Education Hub which is funded by Arts Council England. The service provides instrumental and vocal music lessons to young people in Kingston’s schools and music centres. If you would like your child to learn an instrument, please contact KMS directly either by email at musicservice@kingston.gov.uk or by telephone on 020 8547 5050.
