Music

Music is a universal language and one of the highest forms of creativity. At Girnhill Infant School we aim to provide children with the opportunities to learn and perform within a variety of different musical genres. We will teach subject specific music lessons enabling all children to learn the knowledge and skills required to be a ‘musician’. Our music education aims to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music through a progressive curriculum. All children are given the opportunity to compose and create as well as play and perform using a variety of instruments.

At Girnhill Infant School we aim for all our children to:

• Be introduced to subject specific vocabulary that a musician would use.  Children are encouraged to use this when performing, exploring and composing and listening, reflecting and appraising
• Learn, work and talk like a musician
