At Bickerton Holy Trinity CE Primary School, our aim is to provide a broad and inclusive music education culture for all of our young people. The teaching of Music has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become confident musicians in a range of areas. We follow the 'Love Music Trust' Music Curriculum. There are six units of work in for each class and they have been written in a developmental way. The incorporation of statements developed from the learning ladders within each unit will help ensure that pupils develop their key musical knowledge, skills and understanding in a systematic way.
Our music curriculum aims to provide all pupils with equal access to a rich, broad, balanced and differentiated music curriculum matched well to their ages, abilities, interests, aptitudes and special needs. It is built to increase pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding of music as they grow and develop and increase their connections with the world around them. Teachers are encouraged to use pieces from a wide range of cultures and traditions and that link to our topics each term.
Our curriculum progressively builds pupils knowledge and skills of the following key concepts:
-
Singing (developing pitch, melody, rhythm and control individually and as part of a group)
-
Listening (exploring feelings and emotions in response to music, giving opinions, identifying instruments, structure, musical features)
-
Composing (improvising, composing, notating: representing sounds through symbols, standard and non-standard notation)
-
Performing (singing, playing instruments, individual and groups, practising, rehearsing, presenting, recording, evaluating)
- Musicianship (understanding music: pulse/beat/metre, rhythm, pitch/melody, tempo, dynamics, timbre, texture, structure/form)
