Music at Ellistown

Music

Our music curriculum is carefully sequenced to build musical knowledge and skills progressively from EYFS to Year 6. Children develop their understanding of key musical concepts including pulse, rhythm, pitch, dynamics, timbre, texture, structure and notation through practical and enjoyable learning experiences. ​

Children are given regular opportunities to sing, perform, compose and listen critically to music. Musical learning is embedded through classroom lessons, singing assemblies, productions, performances, celebrations and extra-curricular activities. Pupils also have opportunities to learn and perform using a range of musical instruments, including whole-class ukulele tuition in Key Stage 2. ​

We believe that music should be accessible to everyone and that every child should have the opportunity to experience the personal, cultural and social benefits that music can bring. Through our curriculum, children learn to collaborate, express themselves creatively and develop confidence in performing to others.​

Our aim is for every child to leave Ellistown with a love of music, an appreciation of its importance across cultures and communities, and the skills and confidence to continue their musical journey beyond primary school.​
