We also have the following subject specific pedagogies for Music:

•  All classes use a metronome within lessons to ensure children can keep in time with a rhythm.

• Children have access to one glockenspiel between two and they will be partnered flexibly.

• Teachers should adapt notations and present them visually on the glockenspiel for children who need it. Colour coded keys are used in KS1 as an adaptive teaching method prior to moving towards traditional black and white keys in KS2.

• Within lessons, all will begin with a whole class, led by the teacher, where a listen and appraise activity follows the rhythm clock 'revisit'.

• All children will have opportunity to use practical resources/post-it notes during composing elements of music lessons to support kinaesthetic and visual learners.

• All children will have the opportunity to perform for a PURPOSE.

• Regular representation of the subject within ‘Low Stakes Friday Curriculum Quiz’ to reinforce knowledge, skills and understanding and aid cognitive load. Teachers guided by subject lead’s key questioning document.

• Formative assessment approaches are applied at all times in each lesson however, the final lesson in the unit, is an ‘end of unit assessment lesson’.

• SEND adaptations are made for pupils who need them.
