At St George’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that music is an essential part of life; integral in the development of the whole person. We believe that the opportunity to engage in musical experiences will ensure pupils gain a firm understanding of what music is through listening, singing, playing, composing and performing across a wide range of musical styles. Our objective is to develop a curiosity for the subject and an understanding of the value and importance all types of music in their own and other people’s lives and well-being. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community, and can use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music, in a variety of different contexts, thereby developing a life-long love of music. 

The Benefits of Music
Music is a unique way of communication that can inspire and motivate children. It is a vehicle for personal expression and it can play an important part in the personal development of individuals. Music reflects the culture and society we live in, and so the teaching of music enables children to better understand the world they live in and helps them to feel part of a community.
