At Junior Jam, we believe a rich and varied music education plays a vital role in developing pupils’ creativity, confidence and self-expression. Our music lessons are designed to deliver the National Curriculum in an engaging, practical way, giving every child the opportunity to actively participate in music-making. Through focusing on a different instrument each half-term, pupils experience a wide range of musical styles and skills across the year. This allows children to explore instruments such as drums, keyboards, ukulele and percussion while developing key musical foundations including rhythm, pitch, listening and performance. Our lessons are carefully structured to build musical knowledge and skills progressively, with activities that combine listening, performing, composing and evaluating. All instruments and equipment are provided by Junior Jam and brought directly into the school, allowing pupils to take part in consistent, hands-on learning that builds confidence and encourages creativity while developing a lasting appreciation for music.
To ensure compliance with both the National Curriculum and the Model Music Curriculum, our qualified and specialist instructors teach three core subjects every year: Music Theory with Keyboards, Songwriting with Glockenspiels and Singing. These are differentiated for each year group to ensure progression throughout the pupil’s school life. In the remaining three half-terms of the year, pupils embark upon three instrumentation courses, in which pupils will have the opportunity to perform on an exciting variety of tuned and untuned instrumentation from a wide range of different cultures.
Additionally, we provide your school with links to our Music PPA Cover planning, curriculum links, knowledge organisers and progression maps to ensure that you have an understanding of the learning happening in the classrooms, which is useful for your school should you receive a deep-dive into music. These resources can also be used to help you develop your school’s music development plan as suggested by the new National Plan for Music (2022).
