# Music

Our Music lessons are currently taught by Junior Jam. They provide teaching and resources for engaging Music lessons that all the children look forward to. Our music lessons engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music. Children learn to explore and create

sounds in many different ways. They learn to sing and use their voices in interesting ways. They experience playing musical instruments, which are tuned and un-tuned and begin to read appropriate music notation.  Children develop clear subject knowledge about how music is created, produced and communicated through a range of elements including pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture and structure.
