Music
At Springfield, the intention is that children gain an understanding of how to listen and appreciate; play and sing; and compose across a variety of historical periods, genres and traditions. Music lessons ensure that children are engaged and inspired to develop a love of music and their talent as young musicians. We expose children to appropriate musical terms, and encourage children to use these within their rich discussions about a range of pieces of music as well as when they compose their own pieces. We understand the role music can play with improving children’s health and wellbeing, as well as building skills such as self-confidence, social interaction, creativity and a sense of achievement.
