We study music in school because it is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. For the children of St Joseph’s we want to provide high quality music education that encourages and inspires children to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and to increase their self- confidence, creativity with a sense of achievement. As our pupils progress, they should develop critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose and to listen without discrimination to the best of their musical ability.
