Music
At St Alban's we are musicians!
"Music is life itself."
Louis Armstrong
We want all our children to develop and experience:
-
a real passion for and commitment to a diverse range of musical activities.
-
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.
-
an 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.
