Music

At Ruskin Infant School, all children receive regular weekly curriculum music lessons.

The teaching of music is delivered through activities that integrate musical learning into the school day to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum offer for our pupils. Musical learning includes performance, composition and aural based activities, targeting key musical elements throughout the academic year, and giving children the freedom to express themselves creatively, whilst developing knowledge and skills using instruments and voices. 

Through the teaching of music we provide our pupils with the opportunity to play and learn a range of musical instruments. Supported through our music teacher and other external service providers, we also offer continuation lessons for those children wanting to continue to learn to play an instrument.

Each unit comprises of the strands of musical learning which correspond with the national curriculum for music.
