Music

At Willow Primary School, we believe that music can give children the opportunity to express some of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of music (including song). 

Our curriculum will:

• Enable pupils to express creativity and develop confidence through musical performance and composition.
• Deliver a progressive music curriculum that engages, inspires, and challenges all learners.
• Equip children with core knowledge, vocal techniques, and instrumental skills across key stages.
• Provide high-quality peripatetic instrumental tuition and whole-class musical opportunities.

By the end of Key Stage 2 pupils will:

• Play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts using voices and musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control, and expression.
• Improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the inter-related dimensions of music.
• Listen with attention to detail and recall sounds with increasing aural memory.
• Use and understand staff and other musical notations.
• Appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and great composers and musicians.
