Music & Creative Arts

Music at The Olive School

Music is as natural to us as laughter and tears, woven into the very fabric of our humanity. Its formative power, especially in the lives of the young, is profound and enduring. At The Olive School, we embrace the transformative role of music in shaping the hearts, minds, and spirits of our pupils.

The Power of Music

Children need to hear music that speaks to the soul, helping them experience and express the full range of human emotion in ways that are both creative and healthy. But music is not merely to be heard—it is to be made. God has built instruments into our very being:

  • Our feet and hands create rhythm.
  • Our voices offer melody and harmony.

Children are naturally inclined to sing, and with training, their innate musical abilities can flourish. Their remarkable capacity to memorize lyrics and melodies allows them to carry songs in their hearts—melodies that will accompany and comfort them through the various circumstances of life.

Our Commitment to Music Education

At The Olive School, we provide:

  • Comprehensive Vocal Training: Cultivating voices for solo and ensemble performance.
  • Instrumental Instruction: Teaching pupils to master a variety of instruments.
  • Creative Composition Opportunities: Encouraging the writing of original songs and music.
  • Exposure to Rich Musical Traditions: Offering a repertoire that spans genres, cultures, and eras.

Through music, we aim to inspire joy, instill discipline, and nurture creativity in every child, helping them to harmonize their unique gifts with the symphony.
