| Educational Benefits |
Schools who have already trialled this service have noticed the benefits to the children. In one particular study, run in conjunction with John Kirton, Northumberland’s Senior Educational Psychologist, with the whole school involved: |
| Improved behaviour in and around school was particularly noted. |
| Parents were also very positive about the benefits and the enjoyment of the children. |
| Instrumental lessons of this type will ensure that children receive a quality music curriculum. |
| Working with class teachers, a programme of study can be outlined to ensure that children are receiving coverage of appropriate objectives. |
| All children have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and therefore have access to the development of related skills. |
| Research has shown that learning a musical instrument from an early age improves learning in all areas of the curriculum. |
| Music facilitates learning and encourages the brain to work in more efficient ways, develops and practises fine motor skills and improves self confidence through performance and achievement. |
| Ensemble playing encourages the development of social skills such as listening, cooperation, consideration, appreciation and compromise. |
| Learning and playing music together is an enjoyable experience which often continues into adulthood. |
