Music Subject Leader - Miss H Peat

At Crawshawbooth Primary School, the children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, playing, evaluating, analysing and composing across a wide variety of historical periods, styles and musical genres. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community and for their wellbeing. 

How we achieve high-quality Music: 

EYFS - Music is experienced as part of the child's expressive arts and design which involves enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities in Music. 

Key Stage 1 and 2 - We 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
• learn to sing and use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
• understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations
