Every scheme is designed for real primary timetables: short, focused activities that fit your day, clear outcomes, and plenty of repetition where it matters for musical development.
EYFS includes 12 sessions across the year. We encourage repeating these sessions to consolidate early listening, pulse, movement, and playful vocal work.
Sessions can be woven flexibly through the day — for example, a quick musical starter in the morning, a movement game after break, and a song before home time.
For Years 1–6, each year has 6 sessions per term — giving 18 pre-curated lessons per year.
Music isn’t always weekly in every school, so schemes target priority outcomes and work flexibly with the time you have.
All activities are mapped to the National Curriculum learning outcomes for music. See the DfE programmes of study: Primary National Curriculum – Music (PDF).
