At Richard Hill Primary School, our aims and vision for Music, alongside those stated in the National Curriculum, are:

• To develop an understanding of the breadth of music and how it links to our cultural heritage.
• To develop pupils’ understanding of how music can be a response to historical, geographical or religious contexts.
• To promote growth mindset and wellbeing though opportunities to experiment, make choices, practice mindfulness and express difference and opinions.
• To make links between musical arts and career pathways.
• To develop pupils’ skills in solo and group performance and a sense of community whilst performing.
• To develop skills in singing, playing, listening, composing and performing, using a range of stimuli and instruments.
• To foster an emotional and spiritual response in pupils to the music they hear.
