--- title: "Music" url: "https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/music" school: "Hillary Primary School" --- # Music ## Music ### Intent At Hillary, we believe Music is a subject that helps to develop creativity, imagination, active listening skills, analytical ability and supports pupil wellbeing. Our children are **aspirational**. They perform and play with an awareness of audience; including singing and playing instruments for pleasure. Our children are **inquisitive** and develop musical curiosity through practical activity, exploration and discussion. Through a robust music curriculum, the children learn to describe, discuss and analyse music that they hear and the music that they create. Our children are **articulate** and use a range of musical vocabulary. They will become confident and competent when speaking and listening, and make judgements about the qualities of a range of musical genres. Our children are **knowledgeable** and acquire an understanding of the stories, origins, traditions, history and social context of the music they are listening to, singing and playing. We encourage children to become **unique** musicians who can express themselves through singing, composing, improvising and performing. They will develop the skills to **thrive**, to be inventive, resilient and have the confidence to communicate their feelings, thoughts and ideas. ### Curriculum Overview HPS Music Development Plan 254 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hillary-primary-school/files/documents/hps-music-development-plan.pdf) Progression of Skills 66 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hillary-primary-school/files/documents/progression_in_music_skills_ks1_ks2.pdf) #### Useful Websites - [Sing Up](http://www.singup.org/) - [Singing Hands](https://singinghands.co.uk/) - [Ten Pieces](https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/ten-pieces-musical-menu/zmypxbk) ### Key Information - [Our School Vision](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/our-school-vision) - [Admissions](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Attendance](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/attendance) - [Awards](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/awards) - [British Values](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/british-values) - [Curriculum](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum) - [Art](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/art) - [Computing](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/computing) - [Design Technology](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/design-technology) - [English](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/english) - [EYFS](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/eyfs) - [Geography](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/geography) - [History](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/history) - [Maths](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/maths) - [Modern Foreign Language](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/modern-foreign-language) - [Music](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/music) - [Oracy](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/oracy) - [Phonics](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/phonics) - [PSHE](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/pshe) - [Physical Education](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/physical-education) - [Religious Education](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/religious-education) - [Science](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/curriculum/science) - [Financial Benchmarking](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/financial-benchmarking) - [First Aid](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/first-aid) - [GDPR, Privacy Notices, FOI & SAR](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/gdpr-privacy-notices-foi-sar) - [Health & Wellbeing](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/health-and-wellbeing) - [Ofsted & Performance Data](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/ofsted-and-performance-data) - [PE & Sport Premium](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/pe-and-sport-premium) - [Policies](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/safeguarding) - [SEND & Makaton](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/send) - [School Development Priorities](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/key-information/school-development-priorities) [ ![palfrey infant school](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/images/logo/Hillary_Primary_School-white.png) ](https://www.hillary.walsall.sch.uk/) [HillaryPrimarySchool](https://www.facebook.com/HillaryPrimarySchool#) [@PrimaryHillary](https://x.com/@PrimaryHillary) © Hillary Primary School.
