Intent for Music Curriculum

Our aim is to promote a love of music and singing throughout Singlewell Primary School. To make music an enjoyable learning experience, harnessing a child’s creativity and building their self-confidence through a variety of musical experiences. To listen to, appreciate and be curious about music of different genres and different cultures; developing an understanding of a variety of composers and musicians and learn how music can represent feelings and emotions.  To gain sufficient understanding of musical language including tempo, timbre, rhythm, pitch, dynamics, structure, musical notation and melody. To use this knowledge to discuss and appreciate a range of musical pieces. To work with others to compose music and perform to an audience, building confidence and resilience when facing new challenges and having the ambition to perform to the highest level possible. Children will be given the opportunity to learn a pitched musical instrument during their time in KS2 in an equal and safe environment.
