Next comes the practice. Musicianship must be honed through practice and further musical experiences. And so during this phase, it’s the teacher’s job to really ensure students have a thorough understanding. Teachers are checking their students’ knowledge constantly, especially when musical elements are applied in a different setting, such as in a new song. Our teachers also assist classroom teachers with reporting for music. We provide schools with statements to help with writing end of year reports and we assist with allocating levels of attainment for music.
As a result of working 100% to the National Curriculum for music, continuously refining our own music learning curriculum, deploying a tailored Progression Map as part of every school engagement, and monitoring class and pupil learning term by term, children experiencing Sing Education curricular music not only experience the joy of singing together but also develop a real understanding of the key principles of music. This strong foundation really complements any other music-making pupils may undertake, whether inside school (singing assemblies, clubs), outside school (instrumental tuition, holiday music) or or in the future (as they progress to secondary school).
