Music
At Wild Bank Primary we use the Charanga Musical School to deliver our lessons. Through the Musical School programme the children develop their understanding, make musical judgements, apply their new learning, develop their memory, express themselves physically, emotionally and through discussion and create their own musical ideas.
Each unit contains activities and games that cover the musical dimensions of pulse, rhythm, pitch, tempo, , dynamics and timbre. These are all intrinsically linked through a central song or piece.
The National Curriculum for Music aims to ensure that all pupils:
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
National Curriculum Music (2014)
Children learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others. They have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence Children are encouraged to behave as musicians and explore the dimensions using their voices, body percussion and instruments.
