At this stage, the cross-curricular learning journey snow-balls even faster! Still beautifully showcased within WAU Topics which relate to KS2 children, the foundational musical elements are now explored more deeply. Meanwhile, new elements such as rhythm duration, melodic shape and texture are introduced and used to enrich and extend previous learning. With this deeper understanding of the musical elements, performances become more confident, compositions more intricate and there is a more mature attention and response to both their own and other’s music-making. From the carefully chosen stories which provide natural links to drama and PDMU, to the Numeracy required to explore rhythm duration in more detail, Music continues to make natural links to other essential Curriculum areas.
