“Engaging and exciting children through exciting, fulfilling and
valuable experience in, through and about music, opens up
possibilities for current and future learning… Given all the benefits
and evidence about the power of music, notwithstanding the most
important – the significant impact of music learning itself – it is
difficult to fathom why any school wouldn’t aspire for music to be at
the heart of the school curriculum.” (From ‘Teaching Primary Music’
