Music Wall Art is more popular than ever. Schools across the UK are using their walls to showcase various aspects of this expressive subject.
From famous faces to popular pieces, Music Wall Art celebrates the huge impact of music on the world. And it invites pupils to harness their creativity and self-expression, which in turn benefits wellbeing.
Sophie O’Sullivan is a Promote Your School Consultant based in London. A former Art Teacher and Senior Leader in schools, she says;
“Children are proven to thrive in schools where the arts are at the heart of a broad and balanced curriculum. Music is a key aspect of this. So I’m delighted to work with schools who use Music Wall Art to inspire learning, boost creativity and improve wellbeing.”
The Government first set out their National Plan for Music Education in 2022. More recently, they asked schools to publish a summary of their music development plans on school websites for the 2024/25 academic year.
There’s also a big focus on the importance of music in supporting SEND pupils. The Government’s National Plan for Music Education says that, “A strong foundation of music in the early years is vital for all children, but particularly for disadvantaged children or children with SEND. Schools should not only actively include children with SEND in music teaching, but should also consider where music opportunities could be led by pupils with SEND. ”
Music is an inclusive and enjoyable subject for pupils, and an essential part of a broad and balanced curriculum.
Taking part in music allows children to use skills like problem solving and critical thinking. At the same time, it offers an expressive outlet that calms and regulates those who need it.
Wall Art by Promote Your School is a visual learning resource that engages and enthuses pupils in a particular subject. Many schools opt for Wall Art that focuses on core subjects. For example, maths, science and english.
But over the past few years, we’ve also seen an upturn in requests for Music Wall Art.
Popular types of Music Wall Art include;
Wellbeing remains a priority for schools, and taking part in creative subjects can benefit mental, physical and emotional health.
This is likely one reason that so many schools are investing in Music Wall Art. It’s an inspiring visual resource that encourages pupils to immerse themselves in the magic of melody.
Music Wall Art is also a powerful learning aid that helps pupils absorb and remember information.
For example; Music Timelines teach pupils about chronology and prompt critical thinking. While Music Feature Walls offer a deep dive into the subject. Including quotes from famous musicians humanises the designs and brings them to life for pupils.
It’s also important to celebrate the fun side of music. Wall Art can show pupils that music is all about self expression, creativity and enjoyment!
