Music

At Half Acres we believe that Music is a universal language that everyone can understand. It is academic, physical and emotional. Through their engagement in musical studies we intend that our pupils will:

• Sharpen their cognitive skills and increase their capacity to perform tasks that require sustained attention and careful listening and reading.
• Increase their collaborative skills through performing in groups.
• Develop their imagination and intellectual curiosity.
• Become more emotionally developed, empathic towards others and be better equipped to cope with negative emotions.

Music study leads to lasting changes in children’s brains and we feel confident that an investment in musical studies in our primary school will deliver lifelong benefits for our pupils.
