Music intent: 

•  An appreciation for music of different genres and cultures and can explore it in a variety of ways.

• Musical skills learnt, especially composing, each year will be developed, enhanced and nurtured across each progressing year group as children grow in confidence and develop their love of music.

• We encourage and nurture every child’s talent and develop exploration of music and links across subjects and seek to develop links with the wider community.

•  

   

  We intend children to develop using both voices and instruments, have experiences of different types of music with both exploring and creating in groups and independently.
