Music

Music has a diverse range of facets which are taught within our curriculum. These include the study of musical appreciation and musical knowledge which together are used to develop individual skills.

Our Music curriculum is based on the outcomes set out in the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Music. We use a published scheme (Charanga) to deliver our music curriculum. We have selected this scheme, as we believe it supports our vision, values and whole school drivers and ensures the subject is taught systematically and progressively.

Vision

At Whitwick St John the Baptist, we believe that Music develops pupils’ confidence, communication skills, creative skills and improves their emotional well-being.

Our pupils are provided with an enriched variety of musical experiences.

Our music curriculum enables our pupils to confidently play, read, compose, evaluate and appreciate music throughout the ages and diverse genres.

Whole Class Ensemble

We are believe that all of our children should have the opportunity to experience learning an instrument. Therefore, all our children whilst in Years 4-6 receive 'Whole Class Ensemble Teaching' from Leicestershire Schools Music Service and our Year 3 children are taught by an expert teacher.
