Music - Teaching & Learning
Curriculum Intent
At Dundonald Primary School through our high quality and well-resourced music curriculum, we engage and inspire children to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. Children enjoy a broad musical experience consisting of singing, performing, composing, listening and appraising. Pupils also develop the musical skills of playing tuned and untuned instruments, improvising and composing. Teaching enables pupils to develop their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. We focus on developing the skills, knowledge and understanding that children need in order to become confident performers, composers and listeners.
Curriculum Implementation
At Dundonald, the children receive high quality and engaging music lessons delivered by specialist music teachers from the Merton Musical Foundation (MMF). We also provide children with a range of extracurricular musical opportunities, including the Community Orchestra, a choir, a musical technology club and a variety of individual instrumental lessons offered in school by the Merton Musical Foundation.
Our annual Musical Extravaganza and performances during assemblies provide opportunities to perform both individually and as members of the orchestra.
Our scheme of work introduces children to music from all over the world and across generations, teaching children to respect and appreciate the music of all traditions and communities.
For further details of what your child will be doing in music this term please refer to their year group’s Medium Term Plan. At Dundonald, we encourage children to enjoy many different genres and styles of music through our Musician of the month.
