Music Intent

At Peakirk cum Glinton Primary school, we provide a high-quality music education that will engage, inspire and develop a love of music and children’s talents as musicians to increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. We recognise the importance of music to a child’s development and the impact music can have on their lives. Through music, children are able to experiment, express their emotions and opinions, and be immersed to a wide range of musicians and musical styles.   Music is central to our school’s Christian distinctiveness, in the songs we listen to, sing to and perform in our everyday collective worship in school and church.

Through Music, we aim for our pupils to:

• perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions
• 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 and use technology appropriately 
• 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 notation
