Music Curriculum

 

Music is an integral and well-resourced part of life at Ivybridge. We want the music lessons to be fun and inspiring, engaging the children with songs, lyrics and movement. Children will develop the skills to be reflective and expressive, developing their own appreciation of music with the opportunities we provide as a school. All children are actively encouraged and given the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument within whole class music lessons, currently this is recorder and Ukele.

Music is planned in-line with the statements laid out in the national curriculum. Music is planned where possible with cross-curricular links using Charanga scheme of work.

The national curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.
  • Learn to sing and to use their voices, 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 excellence
  • Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

 

Subject Content

 

Key stage 1

  • use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs and speaking chants and rhymes
  • play tuned and untuned instruments musically
