Please note this document has recently been updated to reflect changes to our Music curriculum. Please see p.3/4 for more information.

This Music Long-term plan — mixed-age version gives a suggested order for teaching our full Music curriculum in a mixed-age setting covering:

Key Stage 1 Music - Years 1 & 2
Lower Key Stage 2 Music - Years 3 &4
Upper Key Stage 2 Music - Years 5 & 6

For Reception, see EYFS Music lessons.

This mixed-age planning organises our units into a two-year rolling programme with Cycle A and Cycle B units to be taught alternately. Each of the units are hyperlinked and we have included two units: South Africa and Caribbean from our Instrumental scheme as well to ensure that you are covering the Model music curriculum's recommendation that pupils in Year 3 and 4 should have the opportunity to learn a whole class instrumental programme for a minimum of one term.

There is a Music: Progression of skills and knowledge — mixed-age document which accompanies this version of the long-term plan.
