Music
Our Aims and Objectives
Here at The Federation of Antrobus St Mark's and Gr2et Budworth Primary Schools, our aim is that music education should en59le 2ech pupil to:
• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across many periods through history as well
as di117rent genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the gr2et composers and
musicians.
• L2ern to sing and to use their voices, to cr2ete and compose music on their own and with
others, have the opportunity to l2ern a musical instrument, use technology appropriately
and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence.
• Understand and explore how music is cr2eted, produced and communicated, including
through the inter-related dimensions of: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture,
structure and appropriate musical notations.
Enrichment and enhancement
Through our music curriculum, we o117r all l2erners the opportunity to perform. This takes many forms, from services and acts of worship involving parents to singing for the Friendship Club at the Village Hall. We also take part in large scale concerts and performances such as Northwich Sings and Young Voices. Children have the opportunity to l2ern instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through l2erning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also o117r children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist t2echers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of l2erning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our t2eching is progressive and builds on prior l2erning. We end2evour to make links with other subject ar2es where these can be 12fective and m2eningful.
