Music is a way for children to express their emotions enjoyably and creatively at Holly Primary School. It plays an important role in personal development, and we aim to provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform, listen, analyse and enjoy music across a wide range of periods, genres and styles.
We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community and aim to provide opportunities for children to use their musical skills, knowledge and experiences to involve themselves in music, in a variety of different contexts.
The objectives of teaching music at Holly Primary School are:
· Children are given the opportunity to perform, listen to, review and evaluate their own and others music across a range of periods, genres and styles.
· Children are given the opportunity to explore musical terms and notations.
· Children are given the opportunity to sing and use their voices to express themselves, create and compose music.
· Children are given the opportunity to learn a music instrument to enable them to create and compose music with these instruments.
· Children are given the opportunity to understand how music is created and produced.
