Music Curriculum Intent Statement

 

We want children to be engaged with and inspired by music, and to develop a love of music.  We want children to develop their talents as musicians and increase their self-confidence and creativity.

Excellence in Music

Music Development Plan Summary

Academic year 2023-24

Curriculum Music

Please see our curriculum maps for our curriculum music. Each class has a weekly music lesson, using the model music curriculum as a base for lessons that provide opportunities for singing, instrument playing, creativity and listening. Musical notation is taught progressively and children from year one onwards use their recorder for at least half a term a year. ICT is used for at least half a term from KS2.

Co-curricular music

There is KS2 choir, band, Flutti Tutti, Huff and Puff Club and violin club for KS2.

Year 5 have one term of whole class instrumental tuition(Toots ) through Essex Music Hub.

We have strong links with Maldon Music School and children who wish to develop further are referred to them, through Essex Music Hub.

Through a partnership with Maldon Youth Orchestra, orchestral instruments are offered on a free loan basis. We currently have violins, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, a euphonium, a cello and a trombone. Children who are interested in learning these instruments should talk to Mrs Chilver.

We have a dedicated music room and children who want to use it for personal practice should talk to Mrs Chilver.

Musical Experiences

At All Saints our choir and band enjoy performing whenever the opportunity arises. The band plays in every Friday assembly. We have an annual Summer Music Concert and perform at our church services. KS1 take part in a singing nativity show and year 5/6 perform an end of year musical.  The choir open the PTA Christmas and Summer fete. 

We work with Barnardo’s  and join their massed choir event at the Royal Albert Hall biennially and enter their choir competition.

We will perform with local groups, such as Maldon Choral Society.

Visiting musicians are invited into school.
