Music
‘Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity’ (The National Curriculum)
At Coppetts Wood, we aim for pupils to develop an enjoyment of and strong appreciation for music in its many forms. Through music, we aim to encourage pupils to become creative learners, develop social skills, and have a greater knowledge of the world around them.
Music, and the teaching and learning of it, naturally embodies our school values. We aim to foster a life-long love of music and exposure to diverse musical experiences, through a curriculum intended to inspire creativity and self-expression.
Through our connected curriculum, from EYFS to Year 6, pupils develop their musical skills and confidence.
We want pupils at Coppetts Wood:
- to develop an appreciation and enjoyment of music
- to express themselves through music - their ideas, creativity and emotions
- to develop self-confidence through learning new skills and developing their talents
- to have opportunities to experience personal achievement and success through music
- to experience composing and performing, including with peers
- to find their voices as singers, performers and composers
- to listen to and appreciate a diverse range of musical genres, instruments and influences
Children have weekly singing assemblies and the opportunity to perform during lessons, assemblies, concerts and other performances throughout the year.
