Music serves as a vital outlet at Greenhill, promoting self-expression in a creative and safe environment. Our music curriculum, anchored in the Sing Up music scheme, aims to inspire and connect children through the universal language of music while embracing inclusivity and respect. We focus on fostering engagement through interactive experiences such as listening, singing, and playing instruments to encourage individual expression and enjoyment. Cultural appreciation is emphasised by recognising the diverse roles music plays across various cultures, promoting understanding and respect for differences. Creativity is nurtured through opportunities for composition and improvisation, allowing children to share their unique perspectives. In addition to our curriculum, we offer a variety of extra-curricular opportunities such as trips, choir clubs, singing assemblies, external performances, and live music events. By embedding these aims within our Greenhill Thread, we strive to cultivate a vibrant musical community where every child can thrive, feel valued, and celebrate their individuality in harmony with others.

Our approach to music education is rooted in creating a progressive and inclusive learning environment that nurtures every child's potential. The music curriculum, anchored in the accessible Sing Up music scheme, allows all children to engage with music, regardless of their prior experience or ability. We implement a carefully sequenced progression of learning, starting with foundational skills in listening, singing, and playing instruments. As students advance from nursery to year 6, they encounter a wide musical vocabulary that enriches their understanding and appreciation of music. Additionally, our chosen sing up scheme, allows us to cover a wide range of repertoire, approaches, and musical traditions, ensuring that every student's musical journey is rich and varied.

Our teaching is differentiated to meet the diverse needs of our students. In every class, we provide tailored support to ensure that all children can fully participate and benefit from the curriculum. Activities are designed to be interactive and engaging such as singing and playing which fosters self-expression and enjoyment.

Through listening and appraising, cultural appreciation is integral to our program. We celebrate the diverse roles that music plays across cultures, encouraging students to respect and understand different musical traditions. Creativity is at the heart of our curriculum. Opportunities for composition and improvisation allow children to convey their unique perspectives and share their voices.

Our inclusive approach also extends beyond the classroom, with a variety of extra-curricular opportunities such as trips, choir clubs, singing assemblies, performance opportunities, and live music events that further enrich the musical experience.

By embedding these principles within our Greenhill Thread, we aim to cultivate a vibrant musical community where every child can thrive, feel valued, and celebrate their individuality while harmonizing with others. Our commitment to fostering a love of music ensures that all children not only learn but also experience the joy of self-expression through this universal art form.
