Music

At Hilltop, we follow the Charanga scheme of music. The Charanga scheme ensures continuity and progression in musical knowledge and skills across the school. This scheme of work uses an integrated, practical, exploratory and child-led approach to musical learning. The interrelated dimensions of music are weaved through the units to encourage the development of musical skills. Each unit of work comprises of the strands of musical learning which correspond with the National Curriculum for music:

1. Listening and Appraising

2. Musical Activities

3. Performing

Music provision will also include

-Whole class Instrument lessons taught by peripatetic music teachers in Year 5

-Music extra-curricular clubs

-Performances

At Hilltop, we believe it is really important that all of our pupils have opportunities to hear a range of live music. We enjoy taking part in workshops run by visiting musicians as well as hearing them play their instruments live.
