At Key Stage 3, pupils learn that Music is a form of personal expression and an integral part of culture in the past and present. Music helps pupils to develop their cultural understanding. Pupils are expected to learn about musical traditions and the role of Music in national and personal identity. They also explore how certain experiences, emotions and ideas are conveyed in pieces of music from different times and places. This website provides resources that can be drawn on in lessons to support the National Curriculum programme of study as it focuses on the origins and development of different genres and styles.
There is access to articles and sound clips related to music from different genres and cultures. This could be used as a website for pupils to use in researching or for teachers to find material that might be appropriate for classroom use. There are also short broadcasts, which outline different genres and their development over time.
