MUSIC

Music Vision 

At Hujjat Primary School, we aim to develop a sense of musical creativity and self-expression, building their listening skills and deepening their understanding and application of musical concepts and vocal skills in an exciting and innovative way, in line with the ethos and values of the school.  

How we learn Music 

Music is taught where by the core concepts, knowledge, skills and vocabulary such as understanding pitch, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and notation are taught and appraised through the playing of percussion instruments, vocal nasheed sessions and Quranic recitations. Each nasheed we explore links to a verse of the Quran and is reflected on for its words as well as the musical concepts it demonstrates.  

How we deliver the Curriculum  

Across all year groups, children play percussion instruments and listen to, reflect upon, and sing a variety of nasheeds with different rhythms and melodies. Through these experiences, pupils develop their listening, composing, and performing skills while gaining an understanding of key musical concepts and vocabulary, including rhythm, pitch, tone, pulse, tempo, and dynamics. They also explore how these musical elements contribute to effective recitation and performance.

Children participate in weekly music lessons, where they have regular opportunities to practise percussion instruments, learn and perform nasheeds, and develop their musical knowledge and skills. Lessons encourage collaboration, creativity, and teamwork as pupils work together to compose, rehearse, and perform musical ensembles. Through these practical experiences, children grow in confidence as reflective listeners, skilled performers, and enthusiastic musicians.
