A large body of research literature now supports the importance of music in the school curriculum, providing evidence that:

·         Music is universal in every culture.

·         Every human being possesses musical ability.

·         Fostering musical ability to its fullest requires early nurturing of musical potential, particularly during these years of rapid brain development.

·         The study of music provides students with an understanding of important aspects of a particular culture that are unavailable through any other means.

·         There are very strong links between learning in music and in other areas of the school curriculum (like aspects of musical note values and fractions in mathematics, and reading words and reading music).

For all these reasons, besides offering a music program throughout the week, we will also count with a program of recorder lessons, in which the children will learn to read a few music notes and play simple melodies.
