Music allows us to feel connected. It can foster a sense of wellbeing, promote positive interactions and lead to increased confidence, self-awareness and critical reflection. We both feel heard and accepted, and we learn to really listen, respectfully, to others. Through the study of a variety of different musical styles and genres, we develop our musical skills and our understanding of the elements of music. We begin to appreciate music’s role within culture and identity and value the rich diversity of musical expression in our world.
