Learning through music enables children and young people to:

  • be creative and express themselves in different ways;
  • experience enjoyment and contribute to other people’s enjoyment through creative and expressive performance and presentation;
  • develop important skills, both those specific to music and those which are transferable;
  • develop an appreciation of aesthetic and cultural values, identities and ideas and, for some, prepare for advanced learning and future careers by building foundations for excellence in music.
