Music

The Music department has two Music teachers, and is visited by a number of peripatetic staff from Tees Valley Music Service (TVMS).

The department is led by Mrs Nicola Richardson who has experience of teaching across KS3, 4 and 5. The main instruments she performs on are flute and piano. She also runs the Academy Choir and is also the Musical Director for the annual production. Mr Ray Rose teaches KS3, 4 and 5 and plays the piano and trombone.

All of the team have complementary skills and each is highly experienced and motivated to ensure that your son or daughter has the best possible musical experience at Nunthorpe Academy.

Year 6 Transition

In Music we aim to develop confidence in the first lessons, through playing rhythm and pitch games, team building activities through the use of Keyboards, Djembe (African drums) and some singing activities. All these activities are designed to make the young person feel comfortable in the musical environment, and get to know others in the group.
