Music
Our vision for music is that all children are involved through enjoying, playing, composing and listening.
"Music is the universal language of mankind."
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
"Music gives soul to the universe,
wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination,
and life to everything."
(Plato)
