Music
Vision
National Standards for Arts Education
At Sholing, we aim to develop a life-long love of music by engaging in high quality musical experiences which inspire reflective and emotional responses. We provide fully inclusive opportunities for children to fall in love with music and to develop technical skills through the early introduction of musical instruments, which are taught by music specialist teachers from Southampton Music Hub. Children become secure with using musical terminology to describe and evaluate performances and develop their own individual ‘taste’ in music. Whilst music is universally enjoyed by all through our engaging and exciting singing assemblies, we aim to recognise and explore musical talent and develop musical excellence across the school by providing opportunities to explore performing as a soloist as well as in choral and orchestrated settings. At Sholing Junior School, our children take centre stage and perform with increasing confidence and a passion for music.

Instrumental Lessons
From September we will be offering specialist tuition in the following instruments:
- Violin
- Tenor Horn
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Clarinet
All children in Year 3 will receive instrumental tuition for the year in Violin, Tenor Horn or Clarinet.
Music is certainly alive and well at Sholing Junior School! Over 1/3 of our children play a musical instrument and all children in Year 3 receive free instrumental lessons for a whole year.
We love singing and our weekly singing assemblies are very popular with all of our children. We are very lucky to have a specialist vocal coach who teaches our school choir every Monday.
We put on two major productions each year and in the summer term will be performing Oliver.
Performances
The Sholing Junior School Orchestra End of Year Performance
Our School Brass Players Rehearse with the Southampton University Brass Band (SUBB)
Our school brass players were able to have the opportunity of rehearsing with the Southampton University Brass Band. Under the musical guidance of their conductor, the groups rehearsed two pieces of music and at the end of the day played for our Year 3 In2Music musicians.
Sholing Community Ukulele Group Perform in Assembly
The School Choir and Jubilee Brass
The school choir performed in a joint concert with Jubilee Brass Community Band. The choir sang four songs and were able to perform a song jointly with Jubilee Brass
Every term there are concerts that give our musical children the opportunity to demonstrate how much progress they have made.
Please see the latest photographs that show our most recent musical event that featured a joint concert with Mr Parnell's 'Jubilee Brass Band' and our own school choir. It was well supported and was a great opportunity for our children to hear a really loud band!
