Music

What a St Swithin’s musician looks like.

These ideas have been developed and agreed with the children in our school. These are the behaviours and characteristics we believe a St Swithin’s musician looks like. We are musicians!

Every child should: –

  • Listen to, appreciate and critically evaluate an increasingly wide range of musical genres.

  • Develop their understanding of the cultural origins of music.

  • Develop a wide repertoire of musical tastes.

  • Perform with increasing ability and enjoyment, evaluating their performance in order to improve.

  • Understand musical terminology – tempo, pitch, dynamics, rhythms and timbre.

  • Develop musical expression and passion.
