Music Curriculum
The intention of the music curriculum at Saughall All Saints is for children to take an active part in music making in a variety of ways. They will use practical skills in using their voices as well as instruments and technology to create and perform music. We want to inspire an interest and curiosity in a range of musical styles and traditions. Through exposure to and appraisal of a broad range of musical genres, we endeavour to inspire children to find music that moves them, and that they will continue to take joy from throughout their lives, as their tastes change and mature.
Children will also learn the fundamental elements of music, recognise how different musicians use them to create different effects, and how they can use these themselves to perform, improvise and compose. We will build the children’s knowledge and skills in music to enable them to take part in performances and appreciate different aspects of the music they hear as they get older. We will encourage them to form opinions about their tastes in music, alongside an awareness of different styles and traditions from different times and places. Our curriculum is supported by the use of Charanga and is informed by the New Model Music Curriculum.
Children in Key Stage 2 can choose to enrol in instrumental music tuition with Rocksteady to learn how to play keyboard, guitar, drums, bass or singing. Follow the link below to find out more about Rocksteady and the service they offer.
