Music

Music Subject Leader: Maria Hawkes

Music plays a central role within the curriculum at Wilbarston Primary School. Pupils will 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. Pupils will also learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and progress to the next level of musical excellence. Furthermore, pupils with understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notation.

The curriculum is underpinned by three key pillars (technical development, constructive development and expressive development) which focuses on developing pupils’ tacit, procedural and declarative knowledge.
