The Music Curriculum Intention

Through the Music Curriculum we inspire children to develop a love of music and engage their talents as musicians.

We aim to:

 Listen, perform, compose and evaluate music across a range of genres.

• At St Joseph’s we wanted to celebrate and rejoice in our Catholic ethos, raising the standards in singing through weekly collective worship singing assemblies.
• Music is taught through thematic topics, linking also to developing knowledge of music across historical periods.
• We build upon self-esteem and confidence through participating in local performances that often link to celebrating our town’s heritage.
• We understand the importance of the arts for well-being and as such, every class, every year, plan, practise and perform a class production.
• We aim to develop progression by utilising a specialist teacher who focuses developing woodwind skills (the children begin with okarina, move onto recorder and finally master the fife)
