Nunnery Wood Primary School

Music

Please find the relevant information regarding Music at NWPS 

At Nunnery Wood Primary School, we aim to deliver a high-quality music curriculum, which will ensure that.....

…children will develop the musical skills of singing, playing tuned and untuned instruments, improvising and composing music, and listening and responding to music. They will develop an understanding of the history and cultural context of the music that they listen to and learn how music can be written down. Through music, our curriculum helps children develop transferable skills such as team-working, leadership, creative thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, and presentation and performance skills. These skills are vital to children’s development as learners and have a wider application in their general lives outside and beyond school.

Throughout the music units, pupils will learn to develop:

 

● Listening and evaluating

 ● Creating sound

● Notation

● Improvising and composing

 ● Performing
