Music

Our music curriculum intends to help children  to develop a life-long love of music. We focus on  developing the skills, knowledge and understanding that children need in order to  become confident performers, composers, and listeners. Our curriculum introduces  children to music from all around the world and across generations, teaching children to  respect and appreciate the music of all traditions and communities.  

Children will develop the musical skills of singing, playing tuned and untuned  instruments, improvising and composing music, and listening and responding to music.  They will develop an understanding of the history and cultural context of the music that  they listen to and learn how music can be written down. Through music, our curriculum  helps children develop transferable skills such as team-working, leadership, creative  thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and presentation and performance skills.  These skills are vital to children’s development as learners and have a wider application  in their general lives outside and beyond school.
