A guidance document for Key Stage 1 Music, including suggested activities This document includes a guideline of when to introduce different skills and concepts throughout Year 1 and Year 2, and what goals to aim for each month. It also includes activity suggestions to help students achieve those goals. If you’re not sure of how to plan lessons for Key Stage 1, what to aim for, or how to scaffold their learning to achieve their music goals, hopefully this will help. It lines up with, and moves beyond the British Model Music Curriculum in some elements, based on my experiences with students in the classroom. It encourages a joyful music-making experience, with an emphasis on musical literacy, and helping students develop into expressive young musicians with strong musical foundations. Please note, that festivals and celebrations mentioned in the activity suggestions are UK focused. I am in the process of updating it to also include more US based suggestions.

A more student-centred wording on the well-known phrase of ‘If you play before I say, I will take your instrument away’, turning it into ‘you will put your instrument away’, encouraging students to focus more on their responsibility in the classroom. Product comes with 3 options - A4 portrait, Poster-size portrait, or PNG file.

Music Learning Objectives and Guidance for students aged 18-30 months, 2.5-4 years, and 4-5 years old. The goals follow my experience in teaching students aged 1.5-5 bi-weekly. Having clear achievement goals in mind helps with the planning and delivery of lessons. Written in a student-centred ‘I can’ statement format, it is easy to follow. Product is in PDF format, with both EYFS and PreK headings for UK and US use.
