At Starcross Primary School, we want every child to leave Starcross with the skills of an early Musician. It is well recognised that music can help to develop the skills, attitudes and attributes that can support learning in other national curriculum subjects. This includes listening skills, the ability to concentrate, creativity, intuitions, aesthetic sensitivity, perseverance, the ability to work in a group, self-confidence and sensitivity towards others. Music can also aid memory, which is why singing nursery rhymes and action songs are particularly good for a child's early development.
