EYFS -

Music interweaves through all areas of learning and development of the EYFS curriculum. Music can be a way of exploring, communicating and responding to experience. Making music with others can be a social experience whether this be two or more children making music with pots, pans or traditional instruments or joining in with familiar refrains and songs. This interaction with others, whether this be with one other person or a group, is personal to each individual and is often an expression of feelings. All vocal communication is comprised of musical elements such as pitch, rhythm and timbre, demonstrating that musicality is an intrinsic part of being human. Music is seen as a core component of children’s learning throughout EYFS and is shared with our youngest children to ensure they have broad, balanced and rounded experiences in early childhood.
