About Brijesh

To begin with, OCR believes that schools should offer a broad curriculum with an emphasis on key subjects including maths and English, but that beyond this core, students should be encouraged to choose from a range of subjects, including vocational ones, which reflect their own interests and aspirations. Furthermore, no subject or qualification type is better than another - choices must be well informed and tailored to individual needs and interests.

I can honestly say that OCR and Cambridge Assessment are about the whole student experience. And this makes me proud to work for and represent OCR. We want students to achieve. We want them to enjoy the process of achieving! We don’t advocate an emphasis on exam success to the point of it being detrimental to health and well-being. We recognise there is more to life than passing exams, and curriculum should develop skills and character attributes needed for future citizenship.

This leads into the issue about increasing pupil uptake. Regarding the OCR Music qualifications, the emphasis when designing them was to find as many ways as possible to make them accessible, relevant, practical, creative, and to encourage an immersion in music making. When I'm out and about training teachers or at networks, I always emphasise that musical teaching and learning must come first. Make it loud. Make it engaging. Make it broaden horizons. Students need to be performing, creating, DOING the music first - and considering their assessment afterwards. Our syllabuses reflect this. We know music teachers are professional, creative and enthusiastic and that this professional judgment is losing its trust.

As a former Head of Music I fully understand that we need to be reporting progress, setting and reaching targets, but this can happen alongside musical, creative and worthwhile teaching and learning.

An engaged and enthusiastic student who has had exposure to good music lessons (and by good, I mean many things, there is no single correct way!) at Key Stage 3 will be choosing music for the right reasons at Key Stage 4. If we’re immersing them in the music, if they’re really getting the opportunity to be involved musically, they’re going to accidentally be picking up the things that we have to assess them on as an exam board.

The big 'ifs' come into it here though...

IF they have had sufficient musical exposure in the classroom

IF the time tabling and planning for ks4 means they can chose their passions and interests outside the EBacc...

About the lesson

Music is the arrangement of sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content.[1][2][3] Music is generally agreed to be a cultural universal that is present in all human societies.[4] Definitions of music vary widely in substance and approach.[5] While scholars agree that music is defined by a small number of specific elements, there is no consensus as to what these necessary elements are.[6] Music is often characterized as a highly versatile medium for expressing human creativity.[7] Diverse activities are involved in the creation of music, and are often divided into categories of composition, improvisation, and performance.[8] Music may be performed using a wide variety of musical instruments, including the human voice.
