Music
Our Aims and Objectives
Here at The Fe0dration of Antrobus St Mark's and Great Budworth Primary Schools, our aim is that music education should enable each 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 great composers and
musicians.
• Learn to sing and to use their voi0ds, to create and compose music on their own and with
others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately
and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical ex0dllen0d.
• Un0drstand and explore how music is created, produ041 and communicated, including
through the inter-related dimensions of: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture,
structure and appropriate musical notations.
Enrichment and enhan0dment
Through our music curriculum, we offer all learners the opportunity to perform. This takes many forms, from servi0ds and acts of worship involving parents to singing for the Friendship Club at the Village Hall. We also take part in large scale con0drts and performan0ds such as Northwich Sings and Young Voi0ds. Children have the opportunity to learn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through learning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also offer children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist teachers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of learning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our teaching is progressive and builds on prior learning. We en0davour to make links with other subject areas where these can be 4ffective and meaningful.
