At Millbrook, our Music curriculum aims to nurture confident, resilient, ambitious and knowledgeable musicians.
We have created our Music curriculum using Charanga music school. We provide children with opportunities to compose music using transcription and to experience a wide range of music in order to describe and perform through singing and playing musical instruments. The curriculum enables pupils to experience a vast range of music through a carefully sequenced scheme taking in to account the mixed year group classes.

Steel pan drums
In 2024, we introduced the Y4 children to Steel pan drums which the children thoroughly enjoyed and created some lovely pieces of music. We have continued this tuition into 2025.
Young Voices
Children at Millbrook have the opportunity annually to take part in Young Voices, the largest children’s choir in the world! Mrs Frost runs an after-school club where children learn the songs and then they travel to Manchester arena for a concert in which they perform alongside 100s of other schools. This is always popular and the children and their parents have a fantastic experience.
School Choir
Our school choir sing and perform for the residents of Kirkby at Christmas. They visit the town centre and the local care home; this is a fantastic way in which Millbrook children support the local community and spread some joy and happiness.
