Music

Our Vision:

Music is a vital part of our lives. Whether that is listening to, composing, evaluating and simply appreciating what we are hearing, at Ormsgill we believe that music is a commonality in us all no matter who you are.

At Ormsgill, we follow a curriculum which fosters a love and appreciation for music in addition to teaching musical skills and concepts. We use the ‘Charanga’ and 'Spark Yard' schemes of work to ensure our music curriculum covers a broad range of skills and gives ample opportunities for learning. Our goal is for children to not only develop musical skills, but for our pupils to enjoy a range of musical experiences in our community and beyond.

Through our music curriculum pupils are invited to:

• Have regular opportunities to appreciate, respond to, compose and perform music (to the class, the school or parents)
• Recognise musical elements of pitch, rhythm, pace, texture, dynamics, structure and timbre within different genres
• Develop and build on musical knowledge and skills throughout the key stages
• Access the opportunity to learn an instrument
• Access extra-curricular musical activities and events

We are very proud of the musical opportunities are children have in school. Our school choir regularly take part in Young Voices, performing with thousands of other children from across the country, we have had a quartet from Liverpool Philharmonic perform to the school and we have have the chance to take part in the SCMAT Summer Sing every year, along with a plethora of other amazing musical experiences.
