Music

Music is at the centre of what we believe and what we do!

Music Progression

Our Guiding Principle

​

Our young musicians will be confidently performing, creatively composing, critically listening to, analysing and appreciating a wide range of music from different cultures, eras and genres

Learning through doing

​

  • In our school our music lessons focus on active participation, learning through doing, and through this we learn more about how we feel and our personal contribution to the overall ensemble.

  • We develop good communication skills, linked with challenging musical vocabulary, to describe the music we create and the music we listen to.

  • Music making helps our children to develop a positive self-esteem and everyone learns to value the personal contribution they make to our school life and wider community.

Progression in Music​

​

•At our school our music is linked with our projects and studies in class

•We have a strong focus on performing and composing; Listening and Appraising

•There is clear progression built into our curriculum as we move through each year group in KS2

•Music vocabulary is key to this progression

•Beat; Rhythm; Ostinato; Tempo; Dynamics; Pitch; Structure; Texture & Timbre are the key elements woven in to our music learning from Years 3-6
