Music
At Whitchurch, we believe that Music enriches our pupils’ lives providing a wealth of learning opportunities and transferrable skills. At the heart of Music, the curriculum is engaging and meaningful ensuring that it is inclusive for all pupils and focuses on the development of core musicianship skills. In addition, our curriculum promotes our core values of aspiration, resilience, respect, responsibility, honesty and generosity and is linked to the key drivers and aims of the school encouraging pupils to become well-rounded individuals, resilient to challenges, motivated lifelong learners and respectful and responsible global citizens.
Through a spiral and progressive music curriculum, we aim to:
- Nurture each student's innate musical abilities
- Foster creativity and individual expression
- Encourage performance, teamwork and mutual respect
- Be appreciative of different music styles and traditions
- Become analytical when listening to music and learn to use subject specific vocabulary
- Highlight the importance of undertaking enrichment activities that can celebrate students’ talents and interests
- Instill a lifelong love and appreciation for the art of music
