Music

Overview

Our Music scheme is exciting and stimulating!

It explores different genres of music through a wide range of songs, instrumental pieces and dance movements.

Children are given opportunities to gain and refine their musical skills through performing, composing, singing, listening and responding to music.

The school has a good selection of musical instruments appropriate for young children.

All Year Two children learn the recorder in weekly lessons and perform at school and local events.

There are whole school concerts throughout the year to celebrate special events such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter and at assembly times.

Learning outcomes:

  • Listening and responding to different styles of music
  • Embedding foundations of the interrelated dimensions of music
  • Learning to sign or sing along with nursery rhymes and action songs
  • Improvising leading to playing classroom instruments
  • Share and perform the learning that has taken place
  • Use a range of instruments to change beat rhythm and pitch.
Across the year groups we teach Charanga Music and the children get the experience of using and playing lots of different musical instruments. Early years also use Music express.

In Year 2 the children learn how to play the recorders and take part in the Godalming Singing Festival.
