SEND - Ambition and Access in Music

Choose a subject:
Ambition – What are we aiming for children with SENs to achieve in this subject? Access – What amendments are made to the subject in order to help children with SENs to achieve?

All children can achieve, at their own level in music. Their SEN should not be considered a limiting factor, and all should be encouraged to participate fully. 

They should be encouraged to explore how the music of a variety of genres, and from different cultures  makes them feel, and express this through the means most suitable to their differing needs. They should be encouraged to make music using tuned and untuned instruments that reflect their understanding and appreciation of a variety of stimuli that are adapted where needed.

  • Extra time to repeat listening to stimulus music, to form opinions, to experiment with tuned and untuned instruments

  • Visual and multisensory prompts for musical terminology, instruments names, composers and other ‘fact’ based learning

  • fostering a can do attitude, particularly with regards to performance, and support to express how the music makes them feel
