We CHAMPION Music!
|
At Dore Primary School, it is our intention that children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing, evaluating, analysing and composing across a wide range of historical periods, traditions and musical genres. Our objective is to develop a curiosity for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the importance of all types of music, and an unbiased respect for the role that music plays in any person’s life. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider world, and are able to use their musical skills and experience to involve themselves in projects and opportunities, at school and beyond. Our music curriculum ensures students sing, listen, play, perform and evaluate. We want to give all children the opportunity to sing, perform and to learn a range of musical instruments whilst at primary school. We aim to instil confidence in all our musical performers and provide opportunities for our high-attaining singers and performers to celebrate their achievements. The music curriculum is embedded in classroom activities as well as the weekly singing assembly and regular concerts and performances. The elements of music are taught in the classroom so that children are able to use the language of music and understand how it is made, played and appreciated. In the classroom, children learn how to play percussion and tuned instruments. They also learn how to compose, focusing on the different dimensions of music. |
