Music
Music at Chapel End Infant School and Early Years Centre
Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music, their talent as musicians and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose and to listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.
Intent
At Chapel End Infant School all our children within EYFS and KS1 enjoy a weekly music lesson. Our practical music lessons are based upon the Charanga Musical School scheme of work. This scheme provides planning, assessment and clear progression in learning.
It is our intent that children learning about music at CEIS should be given opportunity t :
- Listen to and appraise music;
- Learn to play both tuned and untuned instruments;
- Compose their own music;
- Improvise both with voice and instruments;
- Sing, perform and play for various audiences.
Implementation
We implement the National Curriculum for Music at Chapel End Infant School.

Impact
The impact of learning in music is measured through both formal assessment opportunities and pupil voice.
Pupils are given the opportunity to experience and participate in live performances provided by visiting musicicans and by participating in locally oraginsed events.
We hope that our Music curriculum ensures our children make good progress in their learning and equips them with skills, knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Music. We hope that our programme of study gives the children a desire to continue their musical journey and inspires them to persevere with their musical learning at the next stage of their education.
