Music
Intent
At Rudston Primary we are fully committed to providing a music curriculum that provides enthusiasm, self-confidence, creativity, and a sense of achievement.
Through our music curriculum we aim to develop respect for various genres, cultures, and key figures throughout the musical world; including their relevance, impact, and context to today. Children will be able to critically analyse music using appropriate vocabulary with confidence, whilst respecting the thoughts and opinions of others. Children will be able to make relevant links to other areas of the curriculum.
Children develop a depth of knowledge about how music is structured and created whilst exploring opportunities to use their voice and other musical instruments. Through this, children will develop their resilience in practical situations, allowing them to be open to new possibilities, inspirations, and techniques.

- play tuned and untuned instruments musically
- listen with concentration and understanding to a range of high-quality live and recorded music
- experiment with, create, select and combine sounds using the inter-related dimensions of music.
Key Stage 2
Pupils should be taught to:
- sing and play musically with increasing confidence and control.

- play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression
- improvise and compose music for a range of purposes using the inter-related dimensions of music
