Music
What is our vision for Music at Somerdale ET?
Children will leave school with a solid understanding of basic musical theory.
This will include:
- Technical vocabulary.
- Knowledge of instruments and orchestral families.
- Be able to read music.
- Having performed to an audience at least once per academic year. (E.g. Parent share morning, assembly performance, school nativity).
- Children will leave school with a sense of rhythm and timings.
- They should be able to play as part of a group either by using percussion, an instrument of their own, or their voice.
- Children are exposed to high quality choir performances (KS2 choir) from assembly performances and see an example of stage presence and behaviour.
How will our children learn Music?
- Ensure musical notes are being referred to along-side the correct technical vocabulary.
- Arrange regularly opportunities for the children to showcase their learning (concerts, assemblies, trips).
- Ensure singing assemblies are occurring regularly and the children are exposed to a range of song styles. (E.g. Call and response, Parts in an echo, Harmonies etc).
