Music Specialist

Music, Movement, Songs and Rhymes are really important and valued at Pembury House.

Music making in early years is crucial to support language, maths, motor skills and emotional growth through activities like singing, dancing and playing instruments.

At Pembury House we integrate music and movement naturally into routines and activities to built foundations for literacy and numeracy through rhythm, patterns and repetition, while developing coordination and creativity through movement and exploration. 

Singing, dancing and playing instruments foster self-expression, confidence, connection and well-being. 

Early Years Music Making:

• Pembury is excited to be providing ‘Early Years Music Making' to develop children’s cultural capital and diminish attainment difference.
• Every term, our music-specialist, gives all children opportunities to explore their musical self. We sing songs, say rhymes and explore instruments, such as shakers, claves, the xylophone and hand percussion instruments. 
• This is an inclusive project, teaching children in small groups or individually allowing spontaneous creation with instruments, valuing children's unique sounds and ideas. 

• Children have the opportunity in the music sessions to practice skills in being able to listen, communicate, concentrate, feel good, take part in groups, make relationships, and think creatively. These fundamentals form the basis of more formal learning later on.
