Music at Christ the King

Here at Christ the King we offer a comprehensive and engaging music scheme across the key stages. Music is a practical subject and our children are actively involved in performing, improvising, composing, listening to and appraising music. We encourage children to access instruments where possible and engage in musical activities, with freedom to support creativity. Using technology, we can access new, exciting and accessible music apps to compose, produce and perform.

The national curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • 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 to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to 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.
