Music Intent at Carleton Green ‘Music is all around us. It is the soundtrack to our lives. Music connects us through people and places in our ever-changing world. It is creative, collaborative, celebratory and challenging.’ (Model Music Curriculum 2021) At Carleton Green Primary School we follow the aims of the music National Curriculum; providing a broad and balanced curriculum and ensuring the progression and development of musical concepts, knowledge and skills. At Carleton Green we believe that music plays an integral role in helping children to feel part of a community, therefore we provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music both in class and to an audience. Through assemblies and key stage performances, children showcase their talent and their understanding of performing with awareness of others. Lessons enable children to develop their skills, appreciate a wide variety of music and begin to appraise a range of musical genres. The aims of our Music curriculum are to develop pupils who: Enjoy and have an appreciation for music. Listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, cultures, styles and traditions. Can sing and use their voices to create different effects. Create and compose music, both on their own and with others. Use a range of musical vocabulary. Express their personal preferences and opinions about the quality and style of music. Take part in performances with an awareness of the audience.
