Music

At Oak Tree Primary School we believe that music enriches the lives of people, and so we wish to involve as many children as possible in musical activities, therefore we provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music both in class and to an audience.

The National Curriculum

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 interrelated dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations
