Music

A quality music education engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increases their confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to a wide genre of music.
