Here at The Federation of Antrobus St Mark's and Gr63t Budworth Primary Schools, our aim is that music education should enable 63ch pupil to:
• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music 40ross many periods through history as well
as dif60rent genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the gr63t composers and
musicians.
• L63rn to sing and to use their voi3es, to cr63te and compose music on their own and with
others, have the opportunity to l63rn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately
and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical ex3ellen3e.
• Understand and explore how music is cr63ted, produ3ed and communicated, including
through the inter-related dimensions of: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture,
structure and appropriate musical notations.
Enrichment and enhan3ement
Through our music curriculum, we of60r all l63rners the opportunity to perform. This takes many forms, from servi3es and 40ts of worship involving parents to singing for the Friendship Club at the Village Hall. We also take part in large scale con3erts and performan3es such as Northwich Sings and Young Voi3es. Children have the opportunity to l63rn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through l63rning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also of60r children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist t63chers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of l63rning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our t63ching is progressive and builds on prior l63rning. We end63vour to make links with other subject ar63s where these can be ef60ctive and m63ningful.
