Intent

Our intent is to inspire pupils to enjoy music making so that they choose to learn musical instruments, join extra-curricular musical activities, such as choirs, and explore music further outside their time in school.

We do this through delivering a high quality Music curriculum that engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of Music as well as increasing their confidence and creativity.

Our curriculum for Music aims to ensure that all children:

• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music
• Are taught to sing, create and compose music
• Understand how music is created, produced and communicated.

At Cutnall Green C of E Primary School, children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing, evaluating, analysing and composing across a wide variety of historical periods, styles, traditions and musical genres.

Impact

Cutnall Green C of E Primary School has a thriving Music curriculum where pupils have fantastic opportunities to play a wide range of musical instruments.

The varied Music curriculum allows pupils to discover their strengths in music and we aim to build the confidence and skills of all pupils. Pupils enjoy the freedom to be creative in a context where they can use their imagination and also make links between art and music.

Children will have a good awareness and appreciation of different musical traditions and genres. They will also have developed an understanding of how musical provenance – the historical, social and cultural origins of music – contributes to the diversity of musical styles.
