Music
Intent
The intention of the music curriculum at Flora Gardens is to introduce our pupils to the world of music and inspire them to take up an involvement in the subject, in a variety of different contexts. The National Curriculum starts by saying that “music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity”. At Flora Gardens, embracing this has never been more important. Our students speak many languages and we welcome many different cultural backgrounds, and yet music is accessible to all. We love giving our pupils the chance to experiment creatively, as this often leads to a spark igniting in their minds. Through the playing of musical instruments, singing, listening, composing and using body percussion, our aim is to imbed key skills and knowledge within the pupils, so that they leave Flora Gardens with a solid understanding of music. Our goal is to expose the children to different musical genres and a wide variety of historical periods, so that each child is given the chance to fall in love with the subject.
