Music

At Hodge Hill Primary  we teach music on a week-by-week basis. We use the the Charanga Music Scheme which supports all the requirements of the national curriculum. In line with the curriculum for music and guidance from Ofsted, this Scheme moves away from the previous levels and learning objective/outcome concepts to an integrated, practical, exploratory and child-led approach to musical learning. 

Each Unit of Work comprises the of strands of musical learning which correspond with the national curriculum for music:

1. Listening and Appraising
2. Musical Activities
   1. Warm-up Games
   2. Optional Flexible Games
   3. Singing
   4. Playing instruments
   5. Improvisation
   6. Composition
3. Performing

We also work closely with Birmingham's Music Service so that we can provide  all our children with the opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument during their time in Key Stage 2.
