Music is embedded within the Learning Journey.

 

In Music we work on the following skills:

• To Perform
• To Compose
• To Transcribe
• To Describe Music

 

Through our teaching of Music we aim to:

• Encourage children to respond and review in a constructive way which allows them to appreciate a range of musical genres
• Foster a sense of identity when it comes to performances, both individually and as part of an ensemble
• Help students develop a chronological knowledge of how music has developed over time and link it to specific historical eras
• Explore how sounds are used to create specific effects or impacts
• Encourage children to consider how musical compositions are structured based on their intended purpose and use this knowledge for their own compositions
• Use technology to record work in order for children to review and make changes based on their own and other people’s suggestions

 

Through Music we can also:

• Promote pupils’ awareness and appreciation of how some things in life are particularly personal, emotive and have no right or wrong answer
• Develop pupils as independent thinkers
• Come together as a whole school to be part of a large ensemble of singers
