Music at Bransty
At Bransty Primary school, Music is a greatly valued area of the curriculum.
The music curriculum at Bransty begins in EYFS, in Nursery focusing on singing, performing and composing
songs and responding to music by expressing their feelings. All classes at the school have weekly Music
lessons from specialist music teachers from Reception – Year 6; this may include drumming and guitar
lessons.
Our Music sessions contain exciting topics which capture the minds and inspire our pupils. Weekly sessions
in all classes include:
• music theory focus,
• rhythm practise,
• main topic
• song of the week.
Throughout the school, pupils are taught about different periods of music, different genres of music
alongside developing their skills in:
• performance

Our Music curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:

• Learn about Music Theory and use this in compositions.
• Perform with their class and on their own (vocals and instruments).
