The DfE Purpose of Study for Music states the following:

‘Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. ‘

We absolutely agree!  Our Music provision at Elson Junior School is something we are very proud of. Children have the opportunity to learn an instrument through the Hampshire Music Service during normal lesson time. We also have a music/drama teacher who delivers weekly lessons to all pupils. All children are invited to join our school choir and they have weekly after-school sessions. Our choir often represent our school at special occasions in our local community such as the recent D-Day commemoration, Christmas visits to local elderly residents and local music festivals.
