INTENT

Music should be an enjoyable experience for pupils and teachers. Children participate in a range of musical experiences, building up their confidence at the same time. They develop their understanding of rhythm and pitch and learn how music is structured, as well as learning technical vocabulary for these elements. As children’s confidence builds, they enjoy the performance aspect of music. Children experience listening to music from different cultures and eras. Our curriculum is cross-curricular and children are given the opportunity to develop and experience music within other subjects. In Music, children are expected to develop skills in being reflective and evaluate their work, thinking about how they can make changes and keep improving.
