Music

​

​

We aim to provide stimulating musical opportunities and experiences through our ethos and teaching that enable children to:

Pulse, Rhythm, Pitch, Tempo, Dynamics, Timbre, Texture, Structure

and to promote positive attitudes, personal development and values through:

· An enjoyment and therapeutic sense of well-being while playing and singing

· An awareness of the expressive power of music

· A sense of identity and cohesion.

· Social skills of co-operation, communication, leadership, teamwork and a sense of interdependence.

· Personal attributes of self-discipline, self-reliance, concentration, attention to detail, initiative, perseverance and commitment

· A mutual respect for individual and group achievement

· An understanding of culture and of cultural changes

 

and to benefit, broaden and enrich:

 

· Cognitive skills of problem solving and independent learning

· Spatial thinking, linguistic skills and abstract thought

· Fine and gross motor skills; and the appreciation of speed and accuracy of response
