Music
At Heath Hayes, music education is a dynamic and integral part of our adventure-based learning approach. In KS1, children begin their musical journey by learning the glockenspiel, laying the foundation for their future musical studies. In KS2, they progress to learning the recorder through a structured scheme, while deepening their understanding of musical notation.
Our curriculum builds musical vocabulary from EYFS through to Year 6, with key terms linked to their broader learning adventures and referred to regularly. Along the way, children are introduced to a rich variety of musical genres and artists, developing listening skills and an appreciation for music from diverse cultures and styles.
Regular singing assemblies offer joyful opportunities to learn new songs and refine vocal techniques, and our well-established school choir helps children further nurture their musical talents. Additionally, students are encouraged to explore instrumental lessons, with opportunities to learn guitar and cornet, supporting their development as confident, well-rounded musicians.
