Music
Music at Alegra is designed to promote the development of the whole child. Whilst Music is fully integrated within our curriculum, from Infants to Secondary, our highly skilled specialist Teachers offer multicultural, hands-on Music classes; providing an environment where every child is creative, curious and engaged in learning through the power of music and the arts. Our arts enrichment and integration program exceeds that of the national and state arts and education standards (LOMCE). We go above and beyond to ensure the seamless integration of standards for developing social and emotional intelligence in students. Our in-school programs include music, band, dance, and visual arts classes.
Moving into Secondary, Music education continues to be a thriving element of life at Alegra.
Alongside the music curriculum, we offer a wealth of musical opportunities for every girl. We advocate for the huge benefits of being involved in regular musical activities that are well-documented; the research is compelling and we see our students develop creativity, imagination and collaboration amongst a list of wider key curriculum skills.
We offer a wealth of musical ensembles at Alegra, ranging from large instrumental ensembles to many smaller chamber and vocal ensembles including the creation of a pop and rock groups. Throughout the year, there are a variety of performance opportunities: small weekly recitals, termly showcases, competitions and annual performances such as the Alegra Opera Day, among others. With so many ensembles on offer, our students are able to explore a great variety of musical styles and nurture music and performance skills whilst enjoying making music with friends. Equally important, as students progress, they are given the chance to lead ensembles and take ownership of a number of student-led groups, providing every girl with the opportunity to thrive musically.
