Music: Beyond the Classroom

Did you know that music making is part of what makes humans human? Every culture makes music. Not only that, music is the only truly international language. Music notation is used by every developed country so if you can read music you can sit down with any musician from any country and play music together.

Most people are affected by music, whether it is relaxing after a busy day, enjoying a night out, or celebrating a significant event (think about singing Happy Birthday or a Christmas song: the emotions and memories that you experience are far more powerful than if you just said the words).

Music pervades all aspects of our lives and the music industry, in all its forms, employs a significant number of people in the UK, making major contribution to our economy.
