Music

At Trinity Church School, we follow the Kapow Music scheme, which is closely aligned with the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum. While lessons are delivered through a variety of engaging themes, each is underpinned by clear objectives linked to the core elements of music, as outlined below.

The interrelated dimensions of music  as listed below underpin everything within a music lesson.  

  • pulse

  • dynamics

  • structure

  • pitch

  • tempo

  • musical notation

  • duration

  • timbre

 

Kapow Primary’s Music scheme has been designed as a spiral curriculum with the following key principles in mind: 

✓ Cyclical: Pupils return to the same skills and knowledge again and again during their time in primary school. 

✓ Increasing depth: Each time a skill or area of knowledge is revisited it is covered with greater depth. 

✓ Prior knowledge: Upon returning to a skill, prior knowledge is utilised so pupils can build upon previous foundations, rather than starting again.

Music lessons

Music lessons are taught weekly following the Kapow scheme.  Weekly lessons are taught throughout the school. 

 

Music lessons are planned and sequenced so that new knowledge and skills build on what has been taught before. 

 

There are opportunities for whole class instrument lessons within KS2. These lessons are taught by class teachers,  BANES musicians or music lead teachers. 

 

Music lessons are recorded on Seesaw through pictures and videos.
