“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.”

John Suchet – Newscaster

Through the teaching of music, we aim for all children to learn to sing, play an instrument, create music together and listen to the best music the world has to offer. Children actively participate in a wide range of activities in order to achieve this and, in so doing, develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the musical elements of pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre and texture. 

Music is an integral part of every child’s learning and enjoyment is one of the main aims of musical activities, with such activities also contributing to a child’s physical, social, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, creative and cultural development.

Embedded into the music curriculum are opportunities for children to develop their understanding of, and appreciation for, their culture and that of others.  We aim to introduce children to the best music that has been composed in order to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.

At Streetsbrook Infant & Early Years Academy, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive setting that promotes and celebrates the benefits that inclusion brings for all children. We are committed to identifying and removing potential barriers to learning across the curriculum for a diverse range of individuals and groups, and strive to ensure all children make progress. Music can develop confidence and support children in expressing and understanding their feelings.
