At Silvertrees, our philosophy of music education is based on the principle that it should be fun and engaging for all of our children and that every child is a born musician. Music plays a role in every aspect of our lives, wherever and whoever we are. Our music curriculum aims to engage and inspire our children to develop a love of music through a progressive curriculum. As an integral part of culture, past and present, music helps people understand themselves, and relate to others. We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music.
