Views from heads about the impact of music
In a series of articles in Music Education UK magazine, primary and secondary heads told how music had helped with:
- Attainment - raising aspirations, confidence, self-esteem and motivations and leading to increases in SAT and GCSE results among music-involved pupils
- Personal/social development - helping with listening skills, team work, leadership skills and peer-based learning
- Creative thinking - analysis, speculation, evaluation; providing skills and qualities needed for 21st century jobs
- Inclusion - engaging vulnerable students, providing role models and a sense of direction and purpose for those not engaged in other forms of learning
- Embedding learning and cross-curricular approaches - eg using rhythm to reinforce maths
- School culture and marketing of the school - injecting new energy into a school, providing a sense of community and raising or even changing the school's profile in the community
If you want music to make a difference in your school, contact us to discuss your school and pupils. We'll discuss what your school needs, and work out how we and others who are part of the Hub, can help.
