music
At North Hinksey we believe that children should be immersed in music from the very start of their journey with us. We encourage all children to take part in music making in a variety of ways, from singing to learning to play the ukelele.
We aim to inspire an interest and curiosity in a range of musical styles and traditions supporting children to find music that moves them and that they will continue to take joy from throughout their life as their tastes change and mature. Children will hone practical skills and perform to a wide variety of audiences.
