At Edward Pauling Primary School, we believe that Music enables children to develop and enhance their self-esteem, collaboration and creativity. We nurture the children’s love for Music through our learning approach, inspired by the children’s own cultures and interests.

We aim to: 

*Inspire children by listening and appraising a variety of different styles of music from different cultures

*Build children’s confidence by performing both vocally and using musical instruments for both rehearsed and improvised performances

*Ensure that children have the opportunity to progress when using the inter-related dimensions of music in their compositions

*Widen children’s awareness and understanding of key musical vocabulary to enable them to express themselves

*Provide a solid foundation of Music knowledge and skill application to support children in Key Stage Three and beyond

*Invest in quality professional development to ensure that children are receiving Quality First Teaching to attain and progress with their skills
