LONG TERM PLANNING MUSIC
OUR LADYS OF WALSINGHAM
Purpose of study
Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A
high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of
music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence,
creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical
engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with
discrimination to the best in the musical canon.
Aims
The national curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:
. 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
. learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own
and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology
appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical
excellence
. understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated,
including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo,
timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.
