“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” ― Confucius
At Didsbury CE, music is a highly valued, integral part of our school life. We encourage a value of music because it is one of the most powerful and unique forms of communication that can change and impact the way that children feel, think and act. We believe that teaching music helps the body and the mind work together. In addition, we recognise the abilty of music to help children stay healthy mentally. Exposing children to music during early development helps them to learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self expression and keep fit. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop their musical potential and we aim to nuture musical development across the school.
