CURRICULUM MUSIC

At St Michael’s School our curriculum reflects our school vision: Let Your Light Shine. We want all of our children to be excited and motivated throughout their time at our school, and to develop the skills and knowledge to enable them to make the best possible progress in their learning.

 

We believe that a high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. Through our music provision children will increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. Children enjoy exploring and creating music together and have regular opportunities to do this on their journey from EYFS to Year 6. They build on their own skills and are given opportunities to progress at their own level. Children who learn an instrument are encouraged to bring them to curriculum lessons for composing and performing sessions.

 

Mrs Murray is the Curriculum Enrichment and Music Leader throughout the school. Curriculum music is linked to topics.  In both the EYFS and Key Stage 1, music is linked to topics and is taught by the class teachers. In Key Stage 2, it is taught in the Music Room by Mrs Murray.

 

Our music curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:

 

  • perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including works of the great composers and musicians.
  • learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to make good progress.
  • understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the elements: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notation.
