KS3
It is the aim of the music department to provide wide and varied access to all forms of music making. Pupils learn Classical techniques including form and structure, instruments of the orchestra, performance techniques as well as history of composers. Not only this, but popular song writing, music and the media and film music are all topics taught at KS3.
Throughout the first 3 years of music at high school, access to music from different cultures is also provided including music from India, China, and the Caribbean.
Note reading skills are taught for the 3 years at KS3 with access to a keyboard on a regular basis.
Pupils in year 9 now have the opportunity to follow the ‘Musical Futures’ approach to music education. This is a whole new approach to teaching where pupils use different instruments such as Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Drums and Vocals and learn music in a practical, rock band way.
Lostock Hall Community High School and Arts College are the only school in Lancashire designated as a ‘Champion School for Musical Futures’
