Music

The BET music curriculum aims to provide all students with a high-quality music education that is innovative. The curriculum empowers and inspires students to develop a life-long love of music, increasing their self-confidence, creativity, and technical musical ability. 

The BET Music curriculum at Bohunt is designed to inspire and ignite a love of music across all genres and eras. Students are encouraged to develop their theoretical and analytical skills through practical playing and performing.  Students will develop ensemble skills from the beginning of year 7 – creating a collaborative and engaging musical experience on a range of instruments. 

• All students are given the opportunity to develop instrumental skills further through engagement in additional instrumental lessons with the visiting peripatetic staff. Extracurricular musical opportunities develop creativity and expression- including choirs, orchestra, bands, music tech and school productions. 
• Our students develop ‘technical’ skills to allow them to translate their intentions into sound.
• They develop the ‘constructive’ knowledge of how musical components come together analytically and creatively.
• The curriculum allows the ‘expressive’ pillar to strengthen as the students become more confident bringing quality, meaning and creativity to their work.
