What is Music?

Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. High-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. This will help to increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.

How do we teach Music at Irk Valley?

In each curriculum year, children are taught Music every week through the use of Charanga by class teachers. A specialist Music teacher teaches each year group for at least half a term. As pupils progress, they should develop critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose and listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.  

What does a great Music lesson look like at Irk Valley?

• Children will perform, listen to, review and evaluate music including the works of the great composers and musicians
• Children learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others
• Children understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated
