MUSIC
"Without music, life would be a mistake." Friedrich Nietzsche
Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A music education will engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to a variety of musical canon.
MUSICAL HOPES FOR ALL OUR CHILDREN:
The national curriculum for Music aims for all pupils to:
MUSICAL HOPES FOR ALL OUR CHILDREN:
- To enable all children to be able to understand basic notation by the time they leave Snape Primary: read the treble clef line, identify length and names of notes and use them to create their own compositions.
- Learn how to play tuned and untuned percussion on their own and in a group-glockenspiels as tuned. Children will also be able to play the recorder and ukelele.
- We are hoping to be able to establish music tuition in strings, brass and piano too and this is a long term aim to give children the broadest musical opportunities we can.
- We also want to give them lots of listening opportunities of music both live and recorded including visiting the Maltings, Latitude and musical theatre in London.
- We intend to make continued use of BBC 10 pieces which explore different musical genres and introduce children to different composer using a variety of graphics, film and presenters which, in our experience, captures their interest and imagination.
- We are working on ensuring we offer diverse musical experiences and want to extend our opportunities to ensure we incorporate world music, a range of instruments and composers throughout the ages.
- We would like all our children to have heard an orchestra play - hopefully live and even better at Snape concert hall. We would like them to able to name the orchestra families and know the names of the instruments in those families.
- We would like children to be able to use music to express their feelings and communicate using notation (later on) and using their own form of notation (early on) to read their music and perform their own compositions.
- We will always use music throughout our school days in response to the world around us, events of the time and, if in agreement with the childreh, to have as background when they are working.
- We also honour children’s own musical loves and hope they will share their musical favourites and be able to articulate why they like particular pieces of music - how it makes them feel.
The national curriculum for Music aims for all pupils to:
- Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the classical composers and musicians
- Learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others
- Have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
- Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations
