At Turners Hill CofE Primary we aim to make music a varied, experiential and inspiring subject for children across the school. We study musicians, composers and instruments from a range of cultures, allowing children to develop an appreciation for and enjoy a variety of musical styles. Music is an integral part of our school, it is woven into every classroom and is valued by all. This rich musical experience is achieved through lessons, performances, singing assemblies, workshops and extra-curricular music lessons.

Through our curriculum milestones, we intend to provide children with:

• A rapidly widening repertoire which they use to create original, imaginative, fluent and distinctive composing and performance work.
• A musical understanding underpinned by high levels of aural perception, internalisation and knowledge of music, including high or rapidly developing levels of technical expertise.
• Very good awareness and appreciation of different musical traditions and genres.
• An excellent understanding of how musical provenance - the historical, social and cultural origins of music - contributes to the diversity of musical styles.
• The ability to give precise written and verbal explanations, using musical terminology effectively, accurately and appropriately.
• A passion for and commitment to a diverse range of musical activities.
