Leigh Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Music Policy |
|
Rationale Music is a universal language that allows the pupils to express themselves through composing, performing and improvising. At Sacred Heart we aim to inspire a love of music that not only develops a subject-specific skill set that exploring the interrelated dimensions offers, but also challenges children to consider their understanding of history, art, technology and culture; thus reinforcing our global and local themes as a federated community. Aims Through the teaching of music we aim that children can * Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great 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 inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

Staff will use of ‘o track’ to record formative assessments. Children will be assessed against a series of objectives which the teacher will mark once they have been taught. Cross Curricular Links Music supports many other areas of the curriculum. Music is very mathematical in its structure. Listening and responding to music helps children language and social skills as they discuss the music and interpret what they have listened to. Composition promotes inventiveness, decision making and creativeness to create the desired sounds. Music connects children with their own culture as well at the wider world which supports both history and geography. Equal Opportunities All children regardless of gender, race, culture, background, ability and identity have an entitlement to music education at an appropriate level. Children should experience success by being taught to their ability in music.
