Music
At Queen’s Drive Primary School, we aim to foster a life-long love of music by exposing our children to diverse musical experiences and igniting a passion for music. We believe through learning music, pupils will develop creatively, culturally and spiritually. Music is a unique way of communicating that can inspire and motivate children. It is a vehicle for personal expression and it can play an important part in a child’s personal development. Our Music curriculum is designed to be accessible to all, giving children the opportunity to develop their musical skills, knowledge and understanding across the curriculum.
Our music curriculum aims to develop children's musicianship and musical skills through a variety of activities including:
Performing: Singing, playing an instrument, and performing in an ensemble.
Composing: Creating music independently or with others.
Listening: Engaging with a range of musical styles and genres.
Exploring: Understanding how music is created, produced, and communicated.
Using technology: Using digital media to record, manipulate and organise sounds.
At Queen's Drive all children will have the opportunity to learn how to play tuned and untuned instruments. We are very well resourced with a variety of instruments and the children also benefit from a fantastic music room.
Our curriculum intends to inspire creativity, self-expression and encourages our children on their musical journeys as well as giving them opportunities to connect with others. Our children are encouraged to celebrate their musical skills in productions, concerts, assemblies and events within school. The Queen's Drive school choir also participate in events in school and in the wider community.
The subject leaders for Music are - Mrs Kearvell and Mrs Cooke
