We have adopted the Charanga music scheme at Lent Rise School to ensure consistency and progression throughout. Charanga provides extra support and resources to enhance our teaching of music. Charanga is an inclusive scheme, providing a variety of music styles and genres from different times and places. These are explored through the language of music via active listening, performing and composing activities, which enable understanding of the context and genre.
Through our music lessons children are actively involved in a wide range of musical opportunities. Children develop their singing voices, using body percussion and whole-body actions, and learning to handle and play classroom instruments effectively to create and express their own and others’ music. Through a range of whole class, group and individual activities, children have opportunities to explore sounds, listen actively, compose and perform.
