Impact
  • children are not only gaining musical skills and
    appreciation but improved concentration and group
    working skills leading to improvements in
    behaviour, confidence and self-esteem have all
    been noted
  • key skills such as numeracy, literacy and motor
    skills have been incorporated into music tuition
  • the YMI is having an impact on all four areas of
    the Curriculum for Excellence
  • YMI particularly offers advantages for pupils
    with SEN, pupils who are less well behaved and
    pupils who do not excel in other subject areas
