Head of Music

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and creative Head of Music to join our team for September 2024.

**Music is essential at Eaton House Pre-Prep. We work to ensure that all the boys experience music to a personal level not forgetting the wonders of making music with others.**

Individualism is celebrated when pupils show their own understanding and enjoyment of this wonderful art form.

We follow the music National Curriculum for England and, in a focused and fun way, we make sure the boys’ love for music becomes almost palpable. Every single class in the school receive two half-hour lessons of class music a week, in which we develop understanding of classroom musical instruments, musical elements and music notation. We appraise several pieces of music in different styles and forms from instrumental, classical and opera to rap, hip hop and folk music. Improvising and composing also make a key part of our musical journey.

Singing is another big part of music at our school. We sing at least once every day at school with others (assemblies or during class). We offer extra opportunities to develop our singing skills through choir groups during the school time and a choir club after school. We work on ‘singing with intelligence’, in other words, singing with the understanding of what we are singing about.

We always aim for high standards in music performance and the boys always deliver thanks to their passion for music.
