Music is an essential part of our daily lives and a fundamental expression of human culture. At The Priory, we believe in the transformative power of music, giving each student the opportunity to perform, create, and listen to music. This allows them to express who they are in a diverse, global society.

Throughout their time at The Priory, students are encouraged to perform regularly. School concerts, recitals, and musical events provide platforms for students to share their progress and achievements with the community, building confidence and stage presence.

A JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC FROM KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 6

Music education at The Priory starts in Kindergarten and remains a vital part of school life through Grade 6. Our comprehensive music program evolves with our students, offering new instruments and skills at every stage of their journey.

Our junior students are introduced to a variety of tuned and untuned Orff instruments. These early years focus on developing a strong sense of rhythm, melody, and harmony through playful and engaging activities.

In Grades 3 and 4, students begin recorder studies, enhancing their understanding of musical notation, breath control, and finger dexterity. Singing also plays a crucial role during this period, allowing students to explore their vocal abilities.

In Grades 5 and 6, students join our Band Program, choosing and mastering a band instrument. This program hones their technical skills and teaches the importance of collaboration and teamwork. Students perform in concerts and school events, showcasing their talents and hard work.
