Music is a source of pleasure and enjoyment for all of us.

Making music helps children to explore and express their thoughts and feelings.

Learning songs from the past, or from other parts of the world, helps children to develop an understanding of history and of other cultures.

These are some of the reasons why the music curriculum is an important part of what we do.

The music curriculum at Grangetown develops the children's ability to:

~ Sing and play simple musical instruments.

~ Express ideas and feelings through music.

~ Listen carefully to many different types of music, picking out details and learning how it was created.

The music curriculum is enriched by bringing professional musicians into the school on occasions, and also by providing opportunities for interested children to extend their experiences through taking part in a choir or learning to play an instrument at a more demanding level.
