Key Stage 1 / Key Stage 2 / Age 5 - 11
Primary Music takes a cross-curricular approach, with music objectives explored in relation to popular infant topics or related areas of the curriculum. The content is ideal for the non-specialist teacher, offering a mix of materials chosen especially to appeal to each age group with clear instructions on how and what to do, and providing a term's worth of music activity. There are opportunities to sing, take part in music activities, appraise music, with suggestions for composition included in the comprehensive Teacher Notes.
