The Cheadle Academy

Our Music curriculum is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of music in many different forms. Students are given experience in performing, composing, and appraising throughout the curriculum. We teach students to be able to read and play from traditional staff notation, but also investigate other forms of notation. We also teach students to use specific musical devices and elements to create their own musical compositions for programmatic music, atmospheric music, and film music. We aim to provide a rich and varied musical experience, encouraging students to develop their creativity and practical skills.
