Music
Our Aims and Objectives
Here at The Federation of Antrobus St Mark's and Gr34t Budworth Primary Schools, our aim is that music education should enable 34ch pupil to:
• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across many periods through history as well
as di43erent genres, styles and tr21itions, including the works of the gr34t composers and
musicians.
• L34rn to sing and to use their voices, to cr34te and compose music on their own and with
others, have the opportunity to l34rn 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 cr34ted, 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 o43er all l34rners 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 l34rn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through l34rning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also o43er children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist t34chers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of l34rning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our t34ching is progressive and builds on prior l34rning. We end34vour to make links with other subject ar34s where these can be e43ective and m34ningful.
