In the context of music, cultural capital refers to the knowledge, skills, and experiences that children bring to their learning and understanding of music. It includes the cultural experiences, such as visiting concert halls, exposure to different music forms, and being surrounded by music in their daily lives.
Cultural capital is an important aspect of music education at St Robert Bellarmine because it can help to broaden children's horizons and enhance their creativity. Children who have more cultural capital are more likely to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of music, which can motivate them to pursue music as a subject or career in the future.
We aim to develop cultural capital in our students by providing a range of experiences and opportunities to learn about music, such as trips to concert halls, visiting musicians, and exploring different music and musicians. We also promote cultural capital in music by learning about eminent musicians and composers from the past and present.
Overall, developing cultural capital in music is important for providing children with the skills and experiences they need to become informed, creative, and culturally aware individuals.
