What do we want our Music curriculum to achieve?

• Develop children’s Music skills and knowledge so that all children can become musicians and singers.
• Enable children to experience the joy of playing, creating and performing music with their peers and to a wide audience. 
• Provide children with opportunities to hear and respond to a wide range of music from different cultures, genres and periods of time.

Essential characteristics of a musician:

• A rapdily widening repertoire which they use to create original, imaginative, fluent and distinctive composing and performance work.
• A musical understanding underpinned by high levels of aural perception, internalisation and knowledge of music, including high or rapidly developing levels of technical expertise.
• Very good awareness and appreciation of different musical traditions and genres.
• An excellent understanding of how musical provenance - the historical, social and cultural origins of music - contributes to the diversity of musical styles.
• The ability to give precise written and verbal explanations, using musical terminology effectively, accurately and appropriately.
• A passion for and commitment to a diverse range of musical activities.
