PHILOSOPHY
_____________________________________________________
Music is a challenging and fulfilling intellectual, physical, and emotional experience. It gives students opportunities for personal, moral, and social growth in addition to the basic skills of music instruction. Creating meaningful musical experiences gives students opportunities to grow and explore music in ways they would not do outside of school so the experiences stay with them throughout their lives.
