Music
At Silchester, we want all children to thrive in music. We aspire for all children to take part and enjoy listening to, responding to and playing varying genres of music. Through opportunities to explore different instruments and learning the musical notation, terminology and dynamics of sound of music, children will discover how to respond and create their own compositions and perform these too.
Children build on prior learning, responding to various genres of music. Lessons provide opportunities for all Silchester’s budding musicians to thrive and to have a love of music!
The Silchester Musician will:
•Take part in fun, interactive Music lessons, listening, responding and creating a variety of genres of music.
•Use repetition and variation in speed of sound to understand dynamics of music- getting louder and quieter in finer gradations. In this way children will learn: Tempo- getting louder and quieter in finer gradations.
• Respond to, recognise and distinguish between steady beat and rhythm pattern and how they fit together.
•Engage with varying genres, identifying instruments, sound, speed and dimensions of music.
•Perform actions in time to music, experience dimensions of music, feeing the beat and rhythm of music to identify and keep a beat.
•Demonstrate accuracy and control of correct technique on a range of un-tuned percussion instruments.
•Begin to play with musical intent, rehearsing and performing, singing and playing in time and follow a wider range of simple directions and respond to a wide variety of genres, giving their opinions and immersing in how music moves them and makes them feel.
