Music

Music at Applecroft:

Welcome to the Music page of the Applecroft website. Music is a key feature of our school and we aim to provide many opportunities for our children to thrive in this area.

 

Music Curriculum Aims:

  • To instil a love of music in every child and to develop their confidence in music-making and performing.
  • To equip children with the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to appreciate a range of music styles, enabling them to articulate their musical preferences.
  • To provide musical opportunities for pupils to make good progress, whatever their level of competence.

We use Yumu, the online Charanga resource, for music-making opportunities at home. Children can access the resources that they use in school and they particularly enjoy the creative apps such as Quickbeats.
