At Silvertrees, our philosophy of music education is based on the principle that it should be fun and engaging for all of our children and that every child is a born musician. Music plays a role in every aspect of our lives, wherever and whoever we are. Our music curriculum aims to engage and inspire our children to develop a love of music through a progressive curriculum. As an integral part of culture, past and present, music helps people understand themselves, and relate to others. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music.

At Silvertrees we take a head, hand heart approach in all subjects to develop the children's  knowledge, skills and positive attitudes. These are the head, hand, heart aims we want all children to achieve in music by the end of Year 2...

To achieve the curriculum aims in music, long term plans sequentially map learning using the Charanga music scheme ...

Each half term at Silvertrees, we explore and celebrate the music of different composers from around the world and throughout different periods of time. Listening to a variety of music styles and sounds helps our children broaden their musical horizons and be open minded about the music that they listen to.
