Music
INTENT
To ensure all pupils:
- are taught balanced, diverse music lessons that are informed by national curriculum aims.
- are provided with high-quality teaching and learning opportunities.
- are given the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular music activities.
- build confidence, positive attitudes and enthusiasm towards all different aspects of music.
IMPLEMENTATION
- Throughout our school, children will be engaging in the ‘Charanga Music School’ scheme of work which supports all of the requirements of the National Curriculum and gives children access to a wide range of musical concepts and experiences. Children will be building and progressing their music skills as they move through school from Nursery to Year 2, which will aim to support the whole child and increase enjoyment of musical learning. The learning within the scheme is based on Listening and Appraising; Musical Activities – creating and exploring; and Singing and Performing. Children have the opportunity to listen to a great variety of music styles and make links to what they have already learned. Children have opportunities to take part in wider curriculum music opportunities, such as drumming workshops, linked to themed events. We are currently looking to reinstate our Ocarina and Recorder lessons.
