  •  Have a range of sound vocabulary and can use it to compare and describe a range of high quality live and recorded music
  •  Understand the relationship between lyrics and melody
  •  Listen carefully to, appreciate and appraise a range of live and recorded music
  •  Have an understanding of the history of music
  •  Use and understand staff and other musical notations

How our children learn to be a Musician
