Music

Our school’s choir performed amazingly at the Big Sing last week! A huge thank you to Mrs Mitchell for putting the time and effort into choir and also a massive congratulations to the children who have put a lot of hard work into the performance by attending lots of rehearsals and practising in their own time. I was extremely proud of you all!

The school choir had a fantastic time performing at Young Voices this year! The children performed amazing on the night due to their effort practising in rehearsals and at home, they should be extremely proud of themselves. Also, a huge thank you to our school’s conductor of the choir, Mrs Mitchell for all her hard work, the show was a great success!

At Corrie we value the arts and democracy as drivers for our music curriculum. Through a high quality music curriculum children engage in creativity and are inspired to develop a love for music and performing arts.  Children have the opportunity to develop their talents as musicians through a rich programme of study. Children develop self confidence to perform at all levels and to many audiences. At Corrie, children have the opportunity to take part in a series of events throughout the year including shows that deliver song, dance and instrumental pieces. We support the teaching of the music curriculum by enhancing it with a wide variety of extra curricular activities. Within their music lessons, children are taught to read and compose music, listen and appraise, create and explore with music and sing and perform. As we value democracy at Corrie, children are given opportunities to work together to compose pieces of music to showcase to others. They are given the chance to critically evaluate each others’ performances and give advice on how to improve in a safe and respectful environment.

Aims

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 notation.
