Music

What are we aiming for?

Our music curriculum at High Hesket CE School allows us to embrace our school’s value of creativity and provides children with the chance to listen, sing, play, evaluate, analyse and compose in a range of contexts. We aim to instil a fascination and respect for all types of music from different time periods and places as well as to support the children to recognise and understand the value and importance of music to their own lives and the wider community. We connect the children to a range of genres, styles and instruments and allow them to stretch this knowledge through experimentation and the focus of key musical skills, such as pulse and pitch. Finally, they transfer the skills they have explored to their own performance pieces and develop ways to respond, reflect and analyse the music that they create. We hope to inspire children to continue their love for music throughout their lives. 

How do we get there?
