Music

Music lessons at Robert Wilkinson Primary Academy aim to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they develop their listening composition, performance and evaluation skills.

Aims

Whilst studying and enjoying music, the children are given the opportunity to:    

• Learn to use their voices.
• Create and compose music individually and with others.
• Learn a musical instrument.
• Use technology appropriately.
• Understand and explore pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.
• Listen to, review, perform and evaluate music from across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of great composers and musicians.
