When words fail, music speaks
Music
Through our music curriculum we provide opportunities for pupils to immerse themselves in the world of music through singing, dancing, playing instruments and learning about great composers. We work closely with Leicestershire Music Service to ensure we get the right support and expertise from music specialists.
Our Music curriculum will enable pupils to:
Singing and performing
Learning about the terms ‘pulse’ and ‘rhythm’
Read musical notation
Learn about composition
Have knowledge of musical terms such as chord, melody, quaver, strumming
Listen and appreciate music Vision Statement
Music Mark’s members recognise that music has a value in and of itself. The pursuit of learning to sing/play an instrument, learning to compose, learning to listen critically and the myriad of other musical skills are valuable in their own right. This is then demonstrated by:
music enabling increased behaviours for learning
music boosting children and young people’s social development
music fostering team work
music building life skills
music encouraging creativity and critical engagement
music being fun and for everyone
