What is it like to be in a Music Lesson at Calder Vale St. Johns?
Our music curriculum acknowledges and builds on the positive impact that listening to, creating and performing music can have on self-esteem, self confidence and mental health. Pupils are encouraged to express themselves through the music they listen to, create and perform and to incorporate healthy music habits as a positive influence in their lives.
Our music curriculum allows pupils to develop musical and performance skills throughout their time in school. This will be developed year on year and children will build on progressive skills and knowledge using the Charanga Music Scheme. Children will develop these through four strands: Listening & Appraising, Singing & Performing, Musicianship and Composing.
The intent is to develop a broad range of musical skills, knowledge and behaviours - including global and cultural experiences - in order to broaden their outlook. This will allow pupils from pre-school to year six to appraise, create and perform music with the confidence to express themselves. Children will build upon their exploration and knowledge of musical instruments and genres to create and appraise as musicians. Through our music curriculum, children will develop confidence, communication, thinking and creative skills and develop their emotional well-being.
