Music in KS1 and KS2

Teachers at NCS follow the Kapow Primary Music scheme which is  a structured, spiral curriculum. T

 Progression is broken down into the following key areas:

• Listening and evaluating – expressing musical preferences; exploring the impact of musical ideas; understanding how effects are created by combining musical elements.
• Creating sound – exploring the children’s vocal skills; developing skills to manipulate sounds on a range of instruments.
• Notation – recognising the basics of musical notation; reading simple rhythmic patterns; developing the foundational knowledge of how staff and graphic notations can communicate music.
• Improvising and composing – creating and refining the children’s own music through improvisation and notation; experimenting with styles and features; employing musical concepts to add interest.
• Performing – using voices expressively; developing instrumental control and expression; performing as part of a group.
