“Music is an essential part of life; integral in the development of the whole person. I believe that the opportunity to engage in musical experiences is crucial for the development of the whole child. Learning music develops all aspects of a child’s learning, from the physical action of using an instrument to the mathematical skills needed to keep a pulse. These abilities are directly transferable to other areas of the curriculum, allowing them to flourish, and are invaluable for their future life. Through playing, singing, creating and performing, children develop confidence, communication, thinking and creative skills and improve their emotional well-being. In addition, as these activities utilise both sides of the brain, it helps foster connections which improves memory and coordination. The skills involved in playing and listening to music also help learners develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, creativity, and self-motivation necessary for success.
