Music
At Folksworth Primary School we follow the Kapow Primary Music scheme which is designed to help pupils recognise themselves as musical and to nurture a lifelong love of music.
Through the scheme we develop the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to become confident performers, composers, and listeners. The curriculum introduces pupils to music from across the world, encouraging respect and appreciation for the music of all traditions and communities.
Pupils build musical skills through singing, playing tuned and untuned instruments, improvising, composing and listening and responding to music. They develop an understanding of the historical and cultural context of the music they encounter and learn how music can be notated.
At Folksworth Church of England Primary School pupils also have many opportunities to develop their musical skills and understanding through extra curricular activities, singing during collective worship and performances to audiences. In Year 5 and 6 they participate in the Young Voices program performing at the O2 Arena in London.
