Arts Education: Music  

Music provides children with opportunities to engage with a wide range of musical styles and traditions, to become involved in moving, dancing, illustrating, story telling and making drama. The Music Curriculum introduces children to music reading and writing, to song singing and to playing classroom instruments.

The Music Curriculum has three strands:

• Listening and Responding
• Performing
• Composing.

The strands are interrelated and activity in one is dependent upon and supportive of understanding in another.
