Welcome to The Westminster School, Dubai
The aim of the School is to foster and emphasize an appreciation of knowledge and to prepare students for a socially changing and technologically advanced society.
With current media and technological saturation, it has become more difficult to connect to reality. Whether it’s texting or actively posting and uploading content to social media, the human experience has been watered down into a dull emulation of the real world. Music, however, breaks us free from the façade of virtual worlds and places us into a world of allegros, staccatos, fortissimos and andantes. Not only is it healthy to take up music, but it also helps you develop academically, physically and mentally.
According to a study from McMaster University in Canada, students who received musical instruction not only had heightened memory skills, but also surpassed their peers in non-musical education such as math and literacy, not to mention they tested with a higher IQ.
