Music

Pupils will perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions. Pupils will also learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others. Children at Roose Community Primary have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence. Pupils will 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. We aim to ensure that all children:

● Sing with a wide range and with a variety of expression

● Sing confidently for a range of different purposes

● Understand the impact of music

● Read staff notation

● Compose their own music

● Experience playing an orchestral instrument in a class ensemble (and to be given the opportunity to continue learning the instrument in smaller groups/one-to-one)

In addition, there are opportunities for those children showing musical aptitude to be able to develop their musicianship through playing in instrumental ensembles supported by our peripatetic teachers.
