At North Mead Primary Academy, we believe each child can develop and reach their full potential within the music curriculum.
Music is a highly valued aspect of the curriculum. Our music curriculum engages and inspires children to develop a love of music and showcase their talents as musicians.
Our music curriculum is divided into six main steps throughout the year and children focus on a specific genre each half term. The activities and games cover the music dimensions through singing and playing instruments, and listening and creating music which is based around a specific song. Children have the opportunity to play tuned and untuned instruments and develop an understanding of musical composition.
We follow the Charanga Musical School programme. Each Unit of Work comprises the of strands of musical learning which correspond with the national curriculum for music:
- Listening and Appraising
- Musical Activities
a. Warm-up Games
b. Optional Flexible Games
c. Singing
d. Playing instruments
e. Improvisation
f. Composition - Performing
As a school, we equip pupils with the necessary skills to apply their learning within the curriculum and beyond through enrichment opportunities that naturally shapes their character muscles and prepares our pupils to play active roles as citizens now and in the future. In particular, there are a number of opportunities for children to perform as part of a school choir.
