At Hemlington Hall Academy, our children develop talents in music to increase their self-confidence and creativity as musicians and performers, inspiring a real love for the art. Children are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills to respond to and evaluate compositions, in addition to creating their own pieces using a range of instruments and technology. Our school has been awarded the Music Mark in recognition for our high quality music education.
Intent
- To make music an enjoyable interactive learning expressive experience.
- To expose our children to a range of different styles of music (high quality live and recorded music) that show how diverse music can be and how it mirrors the society we live in.
- To enable all children to confidently sing, either individually or as a group.
- To provide our children with wider opportunities to perform inside and outside the school environment to showcase their talents to the community
- To allow all children to have the experience of learning how to play an instrument.
- To develop their self-confidence, creativity and imagination by providing opportunities for self-expression.
- For children to understand musical concepts through a repetition-based approach to learning.
- For children to understand basic notation and musical vocabulary to help them perform within an ensemble.
- To enable children to compose simple compositions for real or electronic instruments.
