Music Intent

At Myton Park we believe that music is fundamental to our humanity and civilization.  Every child deserves the opportunity to engage with music of all styles and from all cultures, in order to develop their own musical journey.  Children will experience a wide breadth of musical study, developing an awareness and appreciation of different musical genres, reflecting upon historical, social and cultural origins.

Myton Park’s Music Curriculum is in line with all the requirements of the National Curriculum, empowering children to listen, sing, play, compose, improvise and perform.  Children will:

• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.
• Learn to sing and use their voices.
• Create and compose music on their own and alongside their peers.
• Have the opportunities to learn a musical instrument, use music technology, and progress to the next level of musical excellence.
• Understand and explore how music is created,  produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions; pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

Myton Park ensures that children are immersed in music making activities that deepen over the course of the children’s education at Myton Park.  Musical elements and concepts that are introduced to young children are continually revisited in more complex and intricate ways as children progress through subsequent year groups.  Key learning is repeated, musical skills are reinforced and learning deepens.
