School music education should not be a world of its own. To attract and retain the maximum number of students it should have not just open doors but few walls. This means developing a living musical culture throughout the school. The following are a few of the more important points essential to growing that school culture. Because primary education is so important for a child’s musical development this article mainly looks at that context, but many of the observations could apply equally to secondary schools.
A Musical Culture Takes Time to Build
A viable, sustaining culture needs time to grow organically. Be active but patient. You need to plan for the long term, but be prepared to change plans when necessary. School traditions must allow some flexibility; react too rigidly and the culture will ossify.
The school culture grows between people. If they are not around long enough they cannot pass it onto each other. The growth requires some stability of staff and student population with a rate of loss and replacement just sufficient to stimulate vitality without collapse.
