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 High Wycombe Church of England School, the intention is that children will 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.  Through employing a music specialist teacher, we aim to challenge and stretch all children in their music skills regardless of their starting point or ability thereby giving all children a chance to enjoy and flourish in this subject. We aim to help children in understanding the value and importance of music in the wider community, and to ensure that they are able to use their musical skills, knowledge and experiences to involve themselves in music in a variety of different contexts.
