We strive to provide high quality Music provision that inspires all pupils to realise and achieve their musical potential. When listening and appraising, our pupils engage with, and are inspired by, a rich catalogue of high quality, historically and culturally diverse, live and recorded music. These experiences foster a love of music in our children, whilst encouraging and nurturing their individual musical tastes and improving their aural memory. We recognise and celebrate the transformative power of singing, and seek to enable our learners to find and use their singing voices with expression and creativity from an early age. As pupils grow and develop, we nurture their love of singing, whilst increasing vocal accuracy, fluency and control. We believe that all children should have access to and experience of playing a wide range of musical instruments, with the option to extend their learning into small group and/or whole class tuition with a Music specialist in Key Stage 2. The opportunity for pupils to discover and develop their talent as musicians is vital to our curriculum, and plays an important role in increasing their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.
