“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
Plato

At Atlantic Academy, our aim is for all students to have the opportunity to explore and make music in such a way that they are able to continue playing and making music into their adult life in a professional or personal capacity should they wish.

More importantly, we want students to have the door unlocked for them so that they can enjoy the lifelong enrichment and cultural capital that a love and appreciation of music can bring.  In addition to the work done in class, all assemblies start with carefully selected music for students to enjoy, accompanied by a slide telling them a little about the composer, their life and details about the piece they are listening to.

Our intent is to:

  • Foster the skills of the individual student through projects that require them to perform or compose independently, but also to create music in a group to encourage them to interact with their peers and develop positive interaction.
  • Give students the opportunity to experience music of a variety of cultures and musical styles.
  • Reflect on the music they hear with an objectively critical ear as well as on a subjective, emotional level.
