Music – Curriculum information

“Our vision is to make music an enjoyable learning experience and inspire our young musicians to become talented stars of the future!”

We encourage children to participate in a variety of musical experiences through which we aim to build the confidence and creativity of all children and provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music.

Our aim is to develop the skills necessary to appreciate a wide variety of musical forms and to begin to make judgements about the quality of music. Using technology, we can access new, exciting and accessible music applications to compose, produce and perform the key elements of music.

What do our pupils think about our music curriculum –

“I really enjoy listening to different genres of music.”

“It’s fun learning to play the clarinet. The more I practice, the better I become.”

“I love listening to music in lessons because it helps me focus.”

“I like learning to sing new songs. It makes me feel calm and happy.”
