Music
Music Curriculum Intent Statement
In Music, our intent is for students to develop their interest in music. Activities such as Composing, Performing, Listening and Appraising will develop their understanding of the musical world in which they live.
Music Vision
Music has the ability to develop skills for life. It uses part of the brain which enables students to become better learners. The department feels that it is important for students to experience a variety of opportunities, both in and outside the classroom.
Music Purpose
Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon. The Music Curriculum aims to inspire students to develop their interest in Composing, Performing, Listening and Appraising. It develops an awareness of different genres and cultures and enables students to work independently or as part of a group. Musical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how music has developed over time.
