Music
Music Intent
At Gatcombe Park Primary school, we aim to develop children as musicians who:
- Develop a personal love of music.
- Develop a critical ear, enabling them to compare and express preferences across a range of music.
- Build an appreciation of a wide variety of music from a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.
- Learn respectful appreciation and criticism of composition and performance of themselves and their peers.
- Learn to sing and to use their voices in a range of groups and styles.
- Appreciate music (voice and instrumental) as a form of communication and express their own views about this while considering those of others.
- Create and compose music on their own and with others, with an increasing understanding of the inter related dimensions of music, using tuned and untuned instruments as well as technology.
