We teach Music through the Charanga Musical School Scheme, a high-quality, progressive curriculum designed to develop musicianship from EYFS to Year 6.

Charanga provides:

• A sequenced scheme covering listening, singing, improvisation, composition and performance
• Diverse music styles: classical, popular, world music, jazz, folk and contemporary
• High-quality digital resources and backing tracks
• Clear progression of musical knowledge and skills
• Opportunities for notation, vocal work, tuned/untuned percussion and ensemble performance
• SEN-inclusive approaches using repetition, modelling and scaffolded tasks

Through Charanga, children learn:

• Pulse, rhythm, pitch, tempo and timbre
• How to use instruments and voice musically
• To improvise and compose using tuned and untuned instruments
• To notate music in simple and later staff formats
• To listen and appraise music across cultures and time periods
• To work together as musicians

Charanga supports a spiral curriculum, enabling children to revisit and deepen key concepts each year.
