Music
Intent:
At Reignhead, we believe in the power of music to change lives and aim to foster a lifelong love of music for all our children. From EYFS to Year 6, we aim to engage all children in deep musical learning which gives opportunities to listen, play, perform and create music using their voices and a range of instruments. Through our clearly sequenced curriculum, we ensure that children progress musically, becoming increasingly able to listen with discrimination and perform with awareness of the dimensions of music – pitch, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and musical notation. Children will appreciate a wide variety of music and begin to appraise a range of musical genres.
We recognise that music can and should play an integral role in helping children to feel part of a community, therefore we provide opportunities for all children to perform music both in class and to an audience with an increasing awareness of others. All children learn to play a musical instrument during their time at Reignhead which includes being able to follow musical notation.
