“Every student in the nation should have an education in the arts.” This is the opening statement of “The Value and Quality of Arts Education: A Statement of Principles,” a document from the nation’s ten most important educational organizations, including the American Association of School Administrators, the National Education Association, the National Parent Teacher Association, and the National School Boards Association
The term ‘core academic subjects’
means English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign
languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and
geography.”
The music department provides each student with an opportunity to experience, create, develop and apply skills for self-expression, by performing in vocal, classroom, and instrumental music. Music provides opportunities for the development of the aesthetic qualities of the student, including positive self-image, self-discipline, and positive group interaction. The school music program exists to inform, challenge, enhance and provide meaningful musical experiences, so that the student may establish a life-long relationship with music. We work in partnership with the students, district, parents, and community members to assure that music education is integrated as part of a basic education.
