"The language of music is common to all generations and nations; it is understood by everybody, since it is understood with the heart." Gioacchini Rossini

Curriculum intent

At Buckland School our intention is that all children develop a relationship with music from an early age through a wide range of genres and time periods. All children should be able to confidently listen to and evaluate a variety of music types in detail. Children should sing, play and compose using their musical skills, experience and knowledge and should have the opportunity to participate in a range of music based activities both in the classroom and at wider events. All children should learn to appreciate the important role music plays in our lives and cultures and should broaden their experience through interactive learning opportunities, visiting workshops, peripatetic teaching and performance opportunities.
