“Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.” — Psalm 150:3–5
Guitar lessons for Year 1-6 run every Thursday with Create Music - if you would like to sign your child up just let the office or Mrs Jeffery know.
St Joseph the Worker offers a vibrant, inclusive and high‑quality music education where every child is encouraged to create music, perform confidently and develop their musical voice. From Nursery upwards, music is woven into daily life through singing, movement and exploration, and from Year 1 to Year 6 pupils enjoy weekly curriculum lessons using the Charanga scheme, which builds skills progressively and supports all learners, including those with SEND. Children learn instruments such as glockenspiels and recorders, take part in composing and performing, and benefit from a rich programme of co‑curricular opportunities including Joezkidz Choir, choral tuition through the National Schools Singing Programme, and instrumental lessons in guitar and brass. Throughout the year, pupils perform in assemblies, Christmas celebrations, the Year 6 show, and prestigious events at venues such as The Lowry and Bridgewater Hall, as well as enjoying special experiences like the BBC Musical Storyland concert and our Brass in Schools Proms in the Playground. Our strong partnerships with Salford MAPAS, Create Music and local musicians ensure that every child can flourish musically and experience the joy, creativity and community that music brings.
