Music

4th October 2022M Hanratty

The National Curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:
• Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music
• Be taught to sing, create and compose music
• Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated.

At Marsden the intention is that children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing, evaluating, analysing, and composing across a wide variety of historical periods, styles, traditions, and musical genres. Our objective at Marsden is to develop a curiosity for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the validity and importance of all types of music, and an unbiased respect for the role that music may wish to be expressed in any person’s life. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community, and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music, in a variety of different contexts.

Year 5 Music Session- Ukulele

8th November 2024M Hanratty

Today, Year 5 experienced their fist ukulele session and they were naturals! We discovered all the different parts of the instrument, how to hold and play it, the string names and even managed to play along with a song.

Apparently, Chris teaching them the ukulele is a step up from listening to Mrs Hanratty sing! We can’t wait for our next lesson.
