PGME1819_005_Welcome_AS.indd 5 27/07/2018 12:21 GETTING STARTED Getting started The many ways to provide your child with a musical education can be daunting, particularly if you weren’t involved in music yourself when growing up. But what are the basics, and, if your child does show musical interest, what are the options? Below is a guide to the various ways in which music education can take place, and how you and your family can navigate through it DMYTRO VIETROVå One of the great things about music is that it can enrich a learner’s life from the very start and, regardless of the technical level reached, it will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Music is a great tool for working with young children, and is used in playgroups and nurseries across the world. A child’s musical journey could start with a lullaby and end with playing at Glastonbury or conducting orchestras at concert halls around the world – but it could be just as enriching if it simply meant making new friends in the school jazz band, taking a guitar out of its case twice a year for the rest of their life, or joining a community choir at 70. There can be a fine balance between encouraging a musical interest because of the benefits you know it will bring, and pushing a child down a route which they do not want to go down – and will not ever gain very much from.

Starting out Learning the piano is a great way The first time a child hears music could have been in the of developing musicianship womb, and as a parent you might have provided the first experience of live music by singing a lullaby.

If your child is about to start instrumental lessons, one of the first things you’ll need to do is get them a decent instrument. For many parents this is a source of worry. How do you go about buying the appropriate violin, flute or trumpet with limited musical knowledge? How much money should you spend?

Director of music Gareth Hemmings elucidates further: Being awarded a scholarship means making a commitment to adding to the school’s musical life ‘While we ask for Grade 4 as an approximate guideline for 11+ music scholarship candidates, I am much more interested in musicality, musicianship, and demonstrable commitment along with an evident real passion for musical activities and potential. We always ask for a brief reference from instrumental teachers and the length of time learning an instrument. The length of time learning an instrument is often a valuable indicator for us as we have taken girls for music scholarships who have only reached Grade 2 standard, but have achieved this in just a year and shown real musicality in their playing; we would have missed out on these musicians if we had gone purely on grades achieved. ‘Conversely we have turned down students with a good technical ability but who have shown no clear love or passion for music and music-making in their application form or their interview. A music scholar must live and breathe music, otherwise we will all ultimately be disappointed.’ However, whether or not a scholarship is attained, Hemmings explains, there is plenty of opportunity for a student to engage in the musical life of the school: ‘Our music department is inclusive and our philosophy is that every student, whatever their grade or experience, whether a scholarship holder or not, has a place in one of our ensembles if

Dulwich College Dulwich College has its roots in England’s great artistic heritage, having been founded by Edward Alleyn on 21 June 1619, with letters patent from King James I. Alleyn was an actor and an entrepreneur in the world of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, and theatre and music have formed important parts of the boys’ school’s life ever since. At Dulwich College lower school (beginning at Year 7), a number of music scholarships of up to one third of the tuition fees are awarded annually. In addition to the reduction in fees, successful candidates receive instrumental tuition on two instruments – one of which must be an orchestral instrument. Auditions for selected candidates take place in mid-January and consist of a prepared piece, sight reading and aural tests, and a viva voce. Choral and organ scholarships are also available to boys at age 11 to fill vacancies which occur annually in the College Chapel Choir, singing choral services in the chapel It’s not just down to natural talent: scholarships are also of the foundation, Christ’s Chapel of God’s Gift, in Dulwich awarded to those who demonstrate their commitment and Village.

Many musically-involved parents are familiar with the regular Saturday morning rush to the music centre for band, orchestra, choir or, increasingly, more unusual ensembles such as djembe drumming or a bespoke guitar quartet.

There are a handful of other independent schools with the same all-Steinway status, such as Pangbourne College, Trinity School and Stowe.

Assuming that a university-level course is in order, there are three main options: attending a conservatoire, doing a music degree or doing a degree in another subject (arts-related or otherwise)

Studying at a conservatoire musicians who have similar goals. And when they do If your child intends to pursue a career as a performing graduate, they are likely to have the best possible access to musician, there is no doubt that attending one of the UK’s the network of performers and performing organisations dedicated conservatoires is a great first step.

While there will be plenty of performing opportunities Trinity Laban’s music faculty is housed at university, these may be fewer and less high-profile than at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich they would be at a music college. However, universities typically have a sophisticated and multifaceted musical life which gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a wide range of activities. Students frequently take responsibility for university music groups themselves, an excellent way of developing leadership skills, learning to work with others and building confidence. Universities also have more students and a wider range of social activities unconnected with music than conservatoires do, so for those who would like to meet a mix of people, university may be preferable.

Studying a different subject If your child is a good musician but is unsure of their career plans; if there is another subject that interests them; or if they just want a good back-up plan, they could

Finally, we look at some strategies for preparing for composition. ‘AO3 is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

It includes an evocative picture, some lines of relevant poetry (also used AO3 in lessons, AO4 in homework WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAYS in the original), some listening suggestions and a musical extract. There is, perhaps, a simple explanation for this. The assessment objectives in music have traditionally aligned One option for the delivery of AO4 content is to keep AO3 knowledge as lesson content and to treat AO4 with the trinity of musical disciplines – performing, composing and listening. Or rather, what we heard on our holidays… as the basis for homework activities. This is effective because it allows you to make use of simple formative assessment strategies to ascertain whether or not the AO3 knowledge is secure. It also allows you to focus on In the outgoing GCSEs, the assessment objectives are: A typical holiday activity, especially for primary schools, is to ask students to write about or describe for the keeping your limited curriculum time focused on music making rather than written activities. „ Assessment Objective 1: Performing skills – performing/realising with technical control, expression and class an interesting holiday experience.
