Music
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
Plato
Music Curriculum
At St Mark’s we value the power of music and the way it connects us to each other and our communities. Music surrounds us. Music education encourages persistence, resilience, focus and memory, which leads to lasting benefits and positive effects. We aim for our music curriculum to help develop these life skills through creative experiences which are collaborative, celebratory and challenging.
Through singing, performing, composing and listening and appreciating, we encourage the love and joy of music making and self-expression. We provide a wide range of musical experiences and opportunities for individual and group work and the sharing of ideas and talents. Music enriches the community spirit of our school.
The children's experiences are extended beyond the classroom when they participate in weekly whole school singing practices and when they perform in our many concerts and Church Services throughout the year.
