We encourage children to participate in a range of musical experiences to develop their self-esteem, confidence and musical appreciation. We use a scheme called Charanga. ### What is it? Charanga’s scheme for the Model Music Curriculum follows a spiral approach to musical learning which responds to the national requirements for musical education. Within each unit of learning, the children revisit existing knowledge and skills and then build upon and extend them incrementally. In this manner, learning is consolidated and augmented, allowing for increasing musical confidence, while constantly being gently challenged to go further. ### Songs at the Heart of Each Lesson At the centre of each lesson is a song around which the musical learning is centred. Each lesson takes pupils through the exercises in listening, singing, performing, composing, improvising and discussion.
