Music

The National Curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:

•  perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians
• learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
• understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

 At Utkinton we hold regular music days to enable children to listen to a wide range of high quality music and to develop their musical skills. This allows children to apply these skills when composing, perfrorming and evaluating music.
