At Forestdale, our music curriculum aims to develop a life-long love of music. Using the Kapow music scheme, we focus on developing pupils’ skills, knowledge and understanding as well as promoting diversity. Pupils receive high-quality music education that aims to enrich their experience, and empower them to explore and appreciate the power of music.

• Pupils will develop their musical skills of singing, playing instruments, improvising and composing music, and listening and responding to music. 
• Pupils will learn how music can be written down. 
• Pupils will develop an understanding of historical and cultural context of the music they listen to. By introducing pupils to music from all over the globe and across generations, they will develop an appreciation of music from different cultures, traditions and communities.
