Music

The music subject leads are Mrs Divers and Mrs Knight

Music is taught across the school in different ways:

• using the programmes of study from the Charanga scheme. Click to see our curriculum content for Music 2022 - 23
• Y4, Y5 and Y6 can opt to have brass lessons from an external teacher, Mr Hobson
• participating in the choir which takes part in MCSP and other events such as Young Voices and the GM Celebration Hub concert
• listening and appreciating music during worship
• joining together for key stage productions at special times in the year 
• developing singing techniques for singing in worship

AIMS (taken from new National Curriculum 2014)

• To perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians
• To learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
• To understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED:-

• By developing children’s musical skills and by allowing them to express thoughts and feelings through music.
• By allowing Foundation Stage children access to instruments and other music during the continuous provision
• By encouraging children to delight in the sense of individual and collective achievement.
