Music Development Plan

Music of the Week

We believe that children should be exposed to a wide range of musical genres and styles, and to support this we have a whole school ‘music of the week’ that is shared with children and discussed in class. Music of the Week runs alongside City of the Week and Artwork of the Week assemblies carried out in class.

 

Each piece has been carefully chosen by school staff to provide children with a wealth of musical experiences and knowledge. Staff and children discuss the pieces using appropriate musical vocabulary for their year group.  The artists and songs covered are listed below, and a link to piece of music is included where possible. Please note these are external links and we are not responsible for any content found on them.
