Music

At the Federation, NORCA & Sistema in Norwich provide Music lessons and opportunities for all children to create, play,  perform and enjoy music, to develop skills and appreciate a wide variety of musical forms.  We embrace the National Curriculum (Ofsted, 2014) purpose of study which states:  

“Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high  quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and  their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of  achievement. As pupil’s progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music,  allowing them to compose, improvise and to listen with discrimination to the best in the  musical canon.”   National Curriculum 2014. 

The objectives of teaching music at NORCA & Sistema in Norwich are to:  

• Encourage our children’s understanding and enjoyment of music through an active  involvement in listening, composing, improvising and performing;  
• Provide the opportunity for children to develop their individual skills, sharing experience  and cooperating with others;  
• Help children to develop an awareness of musical traditions from a variety of cultures.
