Music
At St. Andrew’s, we want to give children an education of the highest standards; we aim for excellence in all our school activities and encourage all children, whatever their ability, to achieve the best they possibly can. Our intention is to provide each child with opportunities to build upon their natural responses to music; to participate in active music-making both through playing and singing, in groups and individually. Our objective is for children to develop a curiosity, respect and understanding of music listening, singing, playing, evaluating, and composing. We are committed to ensuring pupils understand the value and importance of music in the wider community and to establish personal foundations whereby music may become a recreation or career for later life.
“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”
Billy Joel
