We are Musicians
Children will develop a love of music and increase their self-confidence and creativity. We will enrich pupils love of music through singing across the school as well as developing a crucial engagement with music with opportunities to compose and listen to a range of music. We explore how music is created and encourage pupils to develop their musical talents.
Music is taught by Croydon Music Service who use Charanga music scheme to cover the National Curriculum objectives. Each year group has a block of one term of music.
In teaching music we aim to:
encourage children to sing with enthusiasm, free from inhibition, from an early age
cultivate listening skills
offer pupils an opportunity to develop strengths in all appropriate areas of musical expertise
encourage children to work individually and to co-operate with others
develop self confidence in all musical activity
build on all social, cultural and spiritual development through music
develop a love and understanding of music through active involvement in performing, composing, appraising and listening.
