KS2 Music Curriculum Map
Overview
What KS2 covers
KS2 is organised as a clear four-year sequence. Styles change from Jazz and Rock and Roll into Rock, Funk, Motown, Disco and Pop, while the same musical strands keep returning with greater depth.
The route is built from repeatable activity types so teachers can concentrate on teaching, not assembling resources.

Classroom rhythm
Weekly lessons or shorter bursts
The curriculum is designed to survive real school timetables. A session can be taught as one lesson, or split into warm-ups, songs, listening, movement, practice and vocabulary moments across the week.
Teach in bursts
Split the same mapped content into songs, listening games, movement, vocabulary and practice moments across the week.
Keep the map
Whether lessons are weekly or split up, the underlying route still gives leaders a coherent progression story.

These are the headline outcomes leaders can expect to see across the route.
- Pupils perform with increasing accuracy, fluency, control and expression.
- Improvisation and composition sit inside practical song and style projects.
- Pupils listen with attention to detail and understand music in historical context.
