Rose Hill Primary School

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” – Plato

At Rose Hill, the music curriculum aims to inspire pupils to enjoy, appreciate and perform a variety of styles of music, with an understanding of elements such as pitch, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture and structure. 

Classroom experiences equip pupils with the knowledge and understanding to appraise music that they listen to, and the skills to compose their own music in a particular style or genre. 

The children will develop a range of musical skills in order to equip them to perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the work of great composers and musicians. They will also learn to sing and use their voices to create and compose music on their own and with others.

“It helps our mood and it’s calming.”

“It’s fun and it gets us all together.”

“It makes some people want to start playing an instrument. It’s a life skill.”
