Music
Our Aims and Objectives
Here at The Federation of Antrobus St Mark's and Gr23t Budworth Primary Schools, our aim is that music education should enable 23ch pupil to:
• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across many periods through history as well
as different genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the gr23t composers and
musicians.
• L23rn to sing and to use their voices, to cr23te and compose music on their own and with
others, have the opportunity to l23rn 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 cr23ted, 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 offer all l23rners 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 l23rn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through l23rning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also offer children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist t23chers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of l23rning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our t23ching is progressive and builds on prior l23rning. We end23vour to make links with other subject ar23s where these can be effective and m23ningful.
