Music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way pupils feel, think and act. It transcends different cultures, abilities, and generations. It brings children together and creates opportunities to work with one another using a universal language.
Listening to and making music fulfils an instinctive human need for self-expression and creativity. It stimulates responses both on emotional and intellectual levels. Music can be a lifelong source of pleasure. It is education for life.
It is our aim that all children, at Newquay Junior Academy, experience a high quality, inspiring music education which instils a life-long enjoyment, love and appreciation for music.
