The role of music at St Helen’s nurtures a love of music in all pupils, from every background and ability. Children are encouraged to reach their full potential through performing, creating and listening. The intent is:
To sing, play, evaluate, create and compose music
That rhythm, pulse and pitch skills are constantly developed, including reproducing sounds from aural memory
Knowledge of musical language through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, tempo, dynamics, duration, timbre, structure
To create links to other areas of the curriculum, in particular RE
To give opportunities for extra-curricular vocal and instrumental lessons and clubs
To give opportunities to perform in front of an audience, both in school and outside school
To build confidence in all children and encourage pupils to be the very best version of themselves.
