Our Vision for Music at St Michael’s Primary School
At St Michael’s we celebrate music as a divine gift that resonates with the beauty of God’s creation. Our Music Curriculum, aligned with the Music National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, is designed to inspire and uplift children through the transformative power of music.
Foundations in Key Stages 1 and 2
In Key Stage 1, children embark on a musical journey exploring the melodies and rhythms that reflect the diversity and harmony of God’s creation. Through joyful singing, rhythmic games, and introductory instrument play, children discover the joy and wonder that music brings to our lives. This foundational exploration lays the groundwork for a deeper understanding and appreciation of music.
As children progress to Key Stage 2, our curriculum expands to encompass a wide range of musical styles, cultures, and traditions. Children learn to express themselves through singing, playing instruments, and composing their own music. They delve into the works of great composers and contemporary musicians, exploring how music has evolved and shaped cultures throughout history. By nurturing their musical abilities, we empower children to appreciate and participate in the creative process of making music.
Our Commitment to Excellence in Music Education
We are dedicated to providing an exceptional music education that enriches children’s lives and cultivates their talents. Our passionate teachers encourage children to explore their musical interests and abilities, fostering a supportive environment where creativity flourishes. Whether through choir performances, ensemble playing, or individual compositions, we strive to nurture each child’s unique musical journey.
Inspiring Creativity and Faith
At St Michael’s, music is not just an academic pursuit but a spiritual and creative endeavor. We aim to inspire children to discover the profound joy and fulfillment that music brings, encouraging them to embrace their role as creators and stewards of God’s gift of music. Through our Music Curriculum, we seek to instill in children a lifelong passion for music, enabling them to use their talents to glorify God and enrich the lives of others.
Through music, we celebrate the beauty of God’s creation, cultivate spiritual awareness, and empower children to make meaningful contributions to their community and beyond. At St Michael’s Primary School, our vision is to nurture a generation of children who appreciate, create, and cherish music as a cornerstone of their education and faith journey.
