Music

At Steephill, music plays an integral role in our curriculum, offering children the opportunity to express themselves creatively and develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Music is taught by specialist teachers, ensuring high-quality instruction and inspiring musical experiences for all pupils.

• Specialist Teaching: Our specialist music teachers provide expert guidance, covering a wide range of musical styles and techniques. Children learn to listen and appraise music, compose their own pieces, and develop their understanding of musical theory.

• Extracurricular Opportunities: We offer a variety of musical activities beyond the classroom to further nurture our pupils’ talents:

  • Lower and Upper School Choirs: Both our lower and upper school choirs provide children with the chance to develop their vocal skills and perform at school events and local community performances.
  • Peripatetic Lessons: Children have the opportunity to receive one-to-one instrumental lessons in the violin and piano, fostering individual musical development and mastery.

• Competitions and Festivals: Steephill participates in a range of musical competitions, providing pupils with exciting opportunities to showcase their talents. We regularly enter the Maidstone Festival and the Bromley Festival, where our pupils demonstrate their musical skills and gain performance experience.

At Steephill, we believe music is a powerful tool for personal expression and community building. Through our diverse curriculum and extracurricular offerings, we aim to inspire every child to explore their musical potential.
