The Music curriculum at Fareham Academy is designed to enable students to develop high levels of aural perception, promote creativity and personal expression and build confidence through performance.  

Music can be used as a tool to help students develop transferable skills that can be applied in other areas of their learning. The Music curriculum provides opportunities to explore different musical genres from Britain and around the world. It aims to expose students to a rich and diverse musical culture that they may not have experienced.  

SMSC, Numeracy and Literacy are firmly embedded within the Performing Arts curriculum through topics and schemes which include a range of styles and cultures. The life skills that are developed, and are at times explicitly taught, are an integral part of the development of the subject specific skills as well as creating well-rounded individuals.  

Core skills such as problem solving, perseverance, diligence, teamwork, time management, organisation, responsibility, cultural history, listening skills, confidence, social skills, discipline, self-evaluation, interpersonal skills and a sense of achievement helps and prepares students to progress into higher education and employment. Students are offered a range of opportunities to develop their musical experiences through extra-curricular activities,  by participation in concerts, productions and attending musicals. 

We also as a school offer subsidised one on one music lessons to help students foster and develop a keenness for playing a musical instrument to a high standard.
