• have a sense of enjoyment whilst developing an interest in and love of music
• be inspired by composers, musicians and those in the wider music industry
• appreciate the diversity of musical genres across cultures and time periods and have an awareness of how past events and key figures have shaped these
• understand the key musical elements (dynamics, duration, tempo, pitch, timbre, texture and structure)
• create, compose, listen to and perform a variety of music
• have the opportunity to learn an instrument in some depth

• offering specialist music lessons provided by the Merton Music Foundation (guitar, piano and flute), Rock Steady and DCP Drums
