Music

Music purpose of study

Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A highquality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.

Music Intent

Here at Preston Primary School, Music education is very highly valued and is seen as fundamental to a child's development. We aim to create an engaging curriculum which is child-centred, cross-curricular and inclusive, allowing your child to unlock their creative potential by developing their musical identity through a variety of resources and access to a wide range of extra curricular opportunities.
