Music is a universal language that inspires creativity, self-expression and a sense of community. At our school, we provide a broad and balanced music curriculum that develops children’s confidence, imagination and enjoyment of making music together.
The National Curriculum for Music states that all children should perform, listen to, review and evaluate music, be taught to sing and to use their voices, and to create and compose music. They should also have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and use technology appropriately.
To achieve this, we use a blended approach:
Together, these approaches ensure progression, depth and variety, while instilling a lifelong love of music.
Through the delivery of Music, we aim to improve children’ skills in these four areas:
Our music curriculum, delivered through Kapow Primary and Resonate Music Hub, aims to ensure that all children:
Year 3, 4 and 5 had a fantastic cornet concert getting everybody into the festive spirit. The children have worked hard across the autumn term to improve their music skills and be ready for this performance. Singing was great , the audience participated and there was excellent cornet playing. Wow, well done everyone.
