Grade 6 is the foundation year of Trafalgar Castle School’s Connected Classroom programme. The programme is based on an integrated learning approach to the delivery of the curriculum. This integrated approach allows students to see links between different subject areas. The use of Information Technology in the programme is "transparent" and allows students to access information and communicate using appropriate tools.

The music programme, in offering a balance of practical skills, knowledge of elements, as well as creative and critical thinking skills, will enable students to find, in music, a lifelong source of enjoyment and personal satisfaction.

Knowledge of elements and practical skills will emerge from experiences in both vocal and instrumental performance. Creative work will focus on student compositions for solo instrument and as components of an ensemble. Student analyses of music elements in historic and cross-cultural perspectives and their emotional responses to Baroque, Classical and Contemporary music will hone their critical thinking skills and personalize their experience of music. Students will work primarily within a co-operative framework as well as in activities facilitating individual expression and development. Information Technology competencies will be utilized as an integral part of each unit of study. Assessment/evaluation, using student/instructor generated criteria, will incorporate a variety of styles including diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation.
