Music
Our aim is to provide a rich variety of musical experiences that enable pupils to explore diverse genres, develop an understanding of musical notation, and deepen their knowledge of how music is composed and performed. Through these opportunities, children express themselves creatively, build confidence in performance, and experience a sense of achievement that fosters a lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of music.
Intent
- Children gain pleasure from a variety of genres of music.
- Children develop an understanding of musical notation in order to perform compositions.
- Children develop a deeper understanding of how music was/is created.
- Children can express themselves creatively and experience a real sense of achievement in performance.
Implementation
The National Curriculum for music is taught to all year groups through a 3-strand approach:
- Listening and Appraising
Children listen to and explore music produced by others and themselves.
They express their ideas and feelings about music and consider its intended effects.
- Playing and Performing
Children learn to use their voice expressively and move onto singing in a range of styles and forms. They play a range of tuned and un-tuned instruments and take part in performances for a wide range of audiences.
- Creating and Composing
Children create a variety of music through improvisation and composition, they use their voices and instruments.
- A clear progression in knowledge, skills and vocabulary is taught throughout the school starting at Early Years through to year 6 to ensure connections are clear, coverage is met and the sequence builds on skills as children progress through school.
- Trio Time is used to retrieve and reinforce previously taught knowledge in order to consolidate prior learning, this is discussed verbally at the start of music lessons.
- Charanga (our primary music resource) is used to support the delivery of music teaching across school.
- Teachers assess and adapt teaching for all groups of learners, specifically providing extra targeted support and challenge for SEND, pupil premium and our most vulnerable children.
- Vocabulary is shared, discussed and revisited in lessons and as children progress through school.
Impact
- Pupils will confidently and knowledgably articulate their learning in music.
- Children will be exposed to a wide range of musical genres.
- Children will discuss and compare musical pieces and performances.
- Children will develop their confidence when composing, playing and performing.
