Music

Curriculum Intent

At Nathaniel Newton we want to provide our children with a rich musical diet celebrating the diversity of our world. With well-planned lessons, excellent resources and opportunities to perform in front of a live audience, our children will gain experience and skills of a wide range of dimensions of music in a way that will enhance their learning opportunities. They will experiment with voice, instruments (tuned and untuned) and composition, where they can then become familiar with a variety of musical forms.

Music connects us all. We recognise it is a performing art tool which inspires creativity, is a means of self-expression and steers children on their musical journeys as well as giving them opportunities to connect with others.

 

Music is a universal language that allows us to connect across the world, encouraging diversity and multicultural understanding. Giving children an understanding of creative developments over time. We encourage children to adopt a life-long love and enjoyment by exposing them to a wealth of musical experiences and igniting a passion for music. Music affects emotions and is beneficial to our well-being. It forms our identity, promotes a sense of community and belonging. It enhances self-esteem and self-discipline, nurturing transferable skills.

 

Sparkle and Shine

We have had an exciting opportunity here at Nathaniel Newton where we have learnt a song which was recorded for a CD. This CD can be purchased (please speak to the school office) which has your child's voice singing 'Sparkle and shine' on it. We have combined forces with other school across Nuneaton to create this CD and the children in our school worked really hard with learning the tune. The whole school were in the hall where it only took three takes for our song to be recorded. The children sounded amazing and we hope as a school you download the CD.
