At Framwellgate Moor Primary School our ambition is for every child to experience a rich and varied musical framework while learning fundamental musical techniques alongside building musical knowledge. We enable every child to experience music and make progress incrementally.
Early Years
At FMPS we believe that Expressive Arts and Design in our Early Years provision is integral to pupils being creative and developing their own ideas. Music is delivered through adult led learning and continuous provision. Adult led sessions focus on developing skills, new learning and exploring concepts. Continuous provision allows children to practise skills, challenge their thinking and embed concepts. Music objectives are taught, explored and revisited throughout the year.
In Key Stage 1
Pupils use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs and speaking chants and rhymes. They play tuned and untuned instruments and listen to a range of high-quality live and recorded music. Pupils at FMPS experiment with, create, select and combine sounds using the inter-related dimensions of music.
In Key Stage 2
Pupils have the opportunity to play and perform in solo and ensemble contexts, using their voices and playing musical instruments. They improvise and compose music for a range of purposes and recall sounds with increasing aural memory. Pupils use a variety of musical notations and will appreciate and understand a wide range of high-quality live and recorded music drawn from different traditions and from great composers and musicians. Our chosen composers support an understanding of the history of music.
All pupils in Y3/4 learn the recorder which gives them the opportunity to choose to start learning an instrument and attend weekly lessons with our specialist music teachers. The current choice is: Keyboard, ukulele, guitar, flute, clarinet, violin.
All pupils perform together throughout the year, visit the Gala Theatre and have guest bands and instrumentalists visiting school. Music is fun at FMPS and all pupils have the opportunity to learn and play together as a team.
Career Links
We feel that it is important that pupils know the skills required for different careers. Learning Music career skills at FMPS will allow pupils to identify the skills required to work as a Musician.

- Confidence in performing to an audience
- Stamina and dedication to continue practising every day
- Reliability and flexibility as you will work long and irregular hours
- The ability to be part of a team

- By the end of their journey at FMPS, we want to ensure that children have acquired the relevant skills, knowledge and confidence to allow them to be successful in the next stage of their life.
