“Music has a power of forming the character and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.”

Music requires concentration, control, conviction, and collaboration – excellent qualities which are useful in other aspects of a pupil’s life including school. Children who can maintain a steady beat have a greater fluency in their reading. Singing provides vocabulary enrichment, teaches tenses and plurals, and encourages good pronunciation. Learning an instrument helps to improve memory and focus as well as supporting children’s learning in other subjects.
