Why is it so important to give my children a musical opening to the start of their life?
Music can provide enjoyment, discipline, self-expression, and development throughout life.
Music for Life
The Academy’s aim is that each child develops an inbuilt ability to absorb music at an early age, which will inspire participation for life. This overall approach to “music for life” is based on the following;
- Everyone at whatever age has the capability of both appreciating and creating music.
- Music can provide enjoyment, discipline, self-expression, and development throughout life.
- Musical expression is achieved through a sequence of notes and sound, for which musical comprehension and technique are necessary.
- When teachers are able to respond to educational, social, physical and emotional changes children react very favourably.
Professional Guidance
The teacher is a critically important part of this learning process and with continued training and ongoing professional development, will enable children to achieve these aims.
The Academy assists, with knowledge and expression, each child’s ability to sing or play. This forms the basis of an involvement and pleasure in music, which exists in everyone. Through inspired teaching, a happy surrounding and creative ideas, this will awaken in children the beauty of music and the importance of artistic performance.
