Whilst at Wycombe Church of England School children have access to a varied musical programme, which allows them to discover areas of strength, as well as areas that they might like to improve upon. Resilience is built as children try new things and work hard to grow and develop their skills.
As even the youngest children are encouraged to perform to their peers in their music lessons, confidence is built and a culture of respect for children of all abilities is created. Children have the opportunity to discuss and share their own thoughts, opinions and ideas, acknowledging and respecting that these may vary and that this is positive. Music will also develop an understanding of culture and history, both in relation to students individually, as well as ethnicities from across the world.
Children are able to enjoy music in as many ways as they choose- either as listener, performer or creator. They can dissect music and comprehend its parts, they can sing and feel a pulse, and they have an understanding of how to further develop skills less known to them, should they ever develop an interest in their lives.
