Music at Ashurst wood At Ashurst Wood, our Music curriculum intends to inspire creativity and self-expression as well as giving the children opportunities to connect with others. Throughout their musical journey, we hope to foster a lifelong love of music by exposing them to diverse musical experiences and igniting a passion for music. By listening and responding to different musical styles the children will find their voices as singers and performers and as composers, which will enable them to become confident, reflective musicians.
The primary music national curriculum for Key Stages One and Two covers the following: • Singing • Playing tuned and untuned instruments • Listening to recorded and live music • Composing and improvising • Understanding music history • Understanding notation Teaching music in primary school requires facilitating children to “perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, musical genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.”
