Music Statement of Intent

At Priors Wood, we believe that music education plays a vital role in a broad and balanced curriculum, helping children develop creativity, confidence, teamwork, and an appreciation of culture and expression through musical experiences.  

Aims and Impact

The aims of Music at Priors Wood are for children to:

  • Perform, listen to, review, and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles, and traditions, including the works of great composers and musicians. 
  • Learn to sing and to use their voices, create and compose music individually and with others, use technology appropriately, and progress to the next level of musical excellence. 
  • Understand and explore how music is created, produced, and communicated, including through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure, and appropriate musical notations.
