Music

Our mission at The Matthew Arnold School is to instil a culture of passion and enjoyment in music, essentially with the aim of getting every child playing and singing as much as possible every lesson.

Every child, no matter their background, should be able to access music at school and have musical opportunities to be inspired, to be challenged and to thrive. Music has proven benefits to develop several educational skills such as numeracy, literacy and linguistic but most importantly has countless proven emotional and mental health benefits. Music can bring a sense of community, can help manage depression, anxiety and other mental health issues but most of all can be fun.

Music should be a vibrant, diverse and practical subject. Over the 5 years, students will learn and develop 3 key musical skills: performing, listening and composition.
