At Exwick Heights Primary School, children gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing and composing across a wide range of historical periods, styles, traditions and musical genres. We aim to help children gave a curiosity of the subject as well as an understanding and acceptance of the validity and importance of all types of music, and an unbiased, aspirational respect for the role that music may wish to be expressed in any person’s life. Each child is given regular opportunity to express themselves musically and to develop their skills, knowledge and confidence in making music. This comes in many forms, from dedicated lessons, to our involvement in Devon Music’s Wider Opportunities program, and many other cross-curricular links.
