Here at EastcroftPark we believe Music is a unique form of expression that speaks to the heart and mind, enriching children’s lives in ways few other subjects can. It encourages creativity, curiosity, and a sense of personal achievement, while offering opportunities for collaboration, reflection, and emotional connection.
Through regular and varied musical experiences, children learn to listen closely, perform with confidence, and explore their own ideas through composition. They are introduced to a wide range of musical styles and traditions, helping them to appreciate both their own cultural identity and the wider world around them.
As children grow in their musical understanding, they develop important life skills—such as concentration, perseverance, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a group.

Music enables them to celebrate difference, express themselves with confidence, and take pride in their progress, fostering a lasting enjoyment that supports their development across the curriculum and beyond. 

We use the Charanga scheme of music in EYFS, Year 3, 5 & 6.  This is a fun, interactive approach to teaching and learning music which is based on supporting all the requirements of the National Curriculum, in line with published Ofsted guidance. It provides comprehensive lesson plans, assessment, clear progression, and engaging and exciting whiteboard resources for every lesson.

In Year 1, 2 and 4 we also offer music specialist teaching, using the Wigan scheme and Year 4 are taught to play an instrument.
