Music
Our Music curriculum at ELA Basel ensures every child learns to play an instrument, including the ukulele, keyboard, and guitar, nurturing their musical talents and appreciation. Beyond individual skills, students can join choirs broadening their collaborative and performance abilities. Our students have the opportunity to perform during weekly assemblies, at end-of-term events, and in our annual musical show at the Scala Theatre Basel.
Our students can also register for private and small group music lessons for a variety of instruments. All lessons take place on our campus, giving students the opportunity to further their skills in specialist instruments. Students may also opt to take the ABRSM exams from the Royals Schools of Music.
Annual Scala
Each year, all students from Reception to Year 7 take part in our much-anticipated end-of-year Scala performance – a highlight of school life at ELABasel.
This vibrant showcase brings together music, drama, and creativity, giving every child the opportunity to perform on stage and celebrate their achievements with the whole school community.
Meet the teacher
Luke Davies I come from Cornwall in the far South West of the UK. I have been playing music since I was 7 years old and started touring in a professional capacity at the age of 19. Alongside performing, I have studied for my undergraduate degree, teacher training and also an MA in Music and Sonic Media.
I worked as a teacher in the South East of the UK in all areas of education, from Primary through to College level education and have previously ran my own department in a large secondary and sixth form school. I love teaching Primary as it gives me a chance to really explore the natural and inherent nature of music in a fun and holistic way.
