Music

Our aim is that all students will be inspired to develop a life-long love of Music by:

Becoming fluent in Music performance, composition and listening and appraising, through varied and frequent practice, so that they are able to apply and recall knowledge rapidly.
Being able to acquire powerful knowledge through a well-sequenced curriculum that builds on prior knowledge, is contextualised and inclusive.
Engaging with an ambitious Music Curriculum with increasing sophistication and opportunities to develop self-confidence, creativity and imagination.
We recognise that Music is of a cumulative nature, and the repeated revisiting of topics leads to a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. This enables students to apply these principles across a range of subjects and contexts and requires perseverance and resilience.
Modelled on the National Music Curriculum, students will develop practical performance skills using their voices and a range of instruments, develop creative and imaginative skills in composition and develop understanding and vocabulary for listening and appraising skills. Music will provide opportunities for self-expression and a sense of personal enjoyment and achievement.
