Music

Intent

At Great Kimble School, we recognise that music is an important part of primary education and can support children’s knowledge learning (learn), well-being and confidence. In Music lessons, pupils use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs, speaking chants and rhymes. Collective Worship also provides this opportunity. Pupils will be taught to play and recognise a variety of instruments musically and will be encouraged to play together in ensemble groups or to take part in individual lessons offered. The children are encouraged to listen to a wide range of music with concentration and understanding. Music lessons are tailored from the Kapow scheme of work, which is a complete scheme to deliver the National Curriculum objectives. Kapow has quality and engaging music lessons that progress from Early Years to the end of Key Stage 2. Children will investigate different styles of music and discuss what they love about them. Children will also live through music, looking at music at different periods. 

Implementation

Useful links for extra music enjoyment

BBC Ten Pieces has created Ten Pieces Tasters, which are simple, fun, creative activities for primary age children. The activities are easy to follow and do not require any specialist knowledge or equipment. Each activity is led by an artist or specialist in their field and offers different ways to get creative with classical music.
