Our Vision for Music at St Michael’s Primary School
At St Michael’s, we believe that music is a unique and valuable medium that can help enhance, communicate and develop the way our children feel, think and act. We believe that music provides children with the opportunity to increase their social skills through collaborative learning in composition, listening to a range of music and exploring the different ways that we can play instruments. We believe that all children should be given the opportunity to play an instrument, read musical notation, experiment with percussion and create and evaluate their own compositions.
We offer a music curriculum based on the Charanga scheme of work. This develops self-confidence, creativity and a sense of personal achievement within the children. The children have the opportunity to learn and play instruments over the course of the year within these lessons. In addition to this, children also have the opportunity to learn to play instruments through extra-curricular lessons provided by peripatetic teachers from Bury Music Service and Rock Steady Music. Children in Key Stage Two can also join our choir and perform at numerous functions throughout the year.
Throughout the year all children are given the opportunity to take part in musical performances and attend concerts and performances by professional performers and musicians.
We hope to evoke in them a life-long love of music.
Our Science Subject Leader is Miss Grundy.
