Music

At Discovery, we teach pupils to understand themselves and the world around them and to develop a sense of where they live, including access to opportunities that develop the cultural capital needed to raise aspirations. To communicate in different ways and to pose and answer questions using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils will develop key knowledge needed to progress onto a more formal curriculum.

EYFS and Informal Pathway

Pupils develop their music skills and knowledge through singing, listening, and exploring sounds. They enjoy singing songs, clapping rhythms, and playing simple instruments like tambourines or drums. Through these activities, they learn to recognise different sounds, rhythms, and patterns in music. They also explore how music can express feelings or tell stories. By experimenting with creating their own sounds and movements, children build confidence, creativity, and a love for music. These experiences help develop their listening skills and coordination too.
