Curriculum

The Music Curriculum at Ashmole Academy is underpinned by five subject-specific curriculum pillars, designed to support students in developing their musical understanding over time and to allow them to develop as musicians.

The pillars are referred to in every lesson, enabling students to link new learning to what they already know and can do.

Instrumental and Vocal Lessons

Ashmole offers lessons in piano, drum kit, clarinet, saxophone, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone, French horn, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, violin, viola, cello, double bass and voice.  Information regarding fees and applications can be found in the extracurricular section on this website.

Extracurricular

Co-curricular activities are a key feature of our music offer at Ashmole Academy. We have a number of co-curricular activities available both during lunchtime and after school, including both staff- and student-led clubs. Current regular groups include several rock / pop bands within the year groups, two choirs, junior orchestra, senior orchestra, jazz group,  soul band, string group, and folk band. Other ensembles may be put together as we approach a concert, reflecting the skills and interests of our musicians. Any students who are interested in joining or creating a musical ensemble should speak to the music team: we actively encourage and welcome more musical participation!
