Music & Creativity 

Music Award

At Malorees, music and creativity are central to our school ethos. We are proud to have been recognised with the Music Mark award, which highlights our commitment to providing all pupils with the opportunity to engage in music, fostering confidence and self-expression in a supportive environment.

Curriculum

Our Music Programme, delivered by Brent Music Service, encompasses key musical elements across all year groups: 

• Pitch
• Pulse
• Rhythm
• Coordination
• Expressive Elements
• Literacy
• Improvisation & Composition

Music serves as a powerful form of communication, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers and helping pupils connect with themselves and others.

In line with the National Curriculum, our music curriculum includes:

• Performing, listening to, reviewing, and evaluating music
• Singing, creating, and composing music
• Understanding how music is created, produced, and communicated

Pupils have ample opportunities to use both tuned and untuned instruments, enhancing their technique and encouraging collective music-making. At Malorees, we are dedicated to nurturing every child’s musical journey.

School Choir 

At Malorees, we are proud to have a vibrant school choir that provides pupils with the opportunity to perform at whole-school community events and participate in prestigious projects like Young Voices, where they have showcased their talents at venues such as the O2 and Wembley alongside other schools.

Additionally, our pupils are encouraged to showcase their musical abilities during whole-school assemblies, allowing them to share their passion for music with the entire school community. These experiences not only enhance their musical skills but also foster confidence and a sense of achievement.

Music Trust

The Malorees Music Trust plays a vital role in our school, ensuring the upkeep of our beautiful Steinway piano and organising concerts featuring visiting musicians throughout the year. These enriching experiences provide our pupils with the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by professional artists, deepening their appreciation for music and enhancing their own musical journeys. 

School Performances

At our school, pupils have numerous opportunities to showcase their musical talents throughout the year. Our Spring and Summer Soirées offer vibrant platforms for performances, while the highly anticipated annual Shining Stars Awards honors outstanding achievements in the performing arts. These special events celebrate our pupils' hard work and creativity, bringing the school community together in a shared appreciation of their talents and achievements. Through these showcases, we proudly support and highlight the artistic spirit that thrives within our school.
