Music
Music is life itself
Louis Armstrong
At Stapeley Broad Lane we use music to enrich children's learning and provide individual and collective opportunities for participation in musical activities according to level of understanding and ability, through the development of the following:
- Build self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline
- Develop social skills, co-operation and sharing
- Develop a sensitive response to sound and readiness to experiment with sound
- Develop concentration, memory and listening skills
- Develop a musical vocabulary
- Develop physical co-ordination through breathing and posture
- Develop self-awareness, sensitivity, imagination and empathy
- Encourage children to recognise and express their feelings
- Develop an understanding of musical traditions and appreciation of own and other's culture and heritage
We believe that the promotion of music develops a child in a social, physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual way.
