Music
Music is the most universal
of all the arts. Ask any person in any city in any
country what their favourite music is, and they’ll
always have an answer. So treasure music and keep it
with you always.

Suchet, Newscaster, National Curriculum Orders –
2003
Music is a powerful, unique
form of communication that can change the way pupils
feel, think and act. It brings together intellect
and feeling and enables personal expression,
reflection and emotional development. As an integral
part of culture, past and present, it helps pupils
understand themselves and relate to others, forging
important links between the home, school and the
wider world. The teaching of music develops pupils’
ability to listen and appreciate a wide variety of
music and to make judgements about musical quality.
It encourages active involvement in different forms
of amateur music making, both individual and
communal, developing a sense of group identity and
togetherness. It also increases self-discipline and
creativity aesthetic sensitivity and fulfilment.

Curriculum Orders – 2003
