Music

We believe that our students come to school with a musical background already in place. A quality music education broadens that foundation through learning experiences that include singing, playing instruments, analyzing, creating, and listening. In a world that demands new solutions to difficult problems, the study of music provides our students with the skills to look at solutions, explore new approaches, and focus on challenging tasks. Music can help us in life.

Music education provides opportunities for students to experience music in a variety of ways. It also helps students develop an appreciation for and a love of music while encouraging them to develop new musical skills.

Our teaching and learning approach to Music is:

  • Creative: it provides avenues for personal expression and reflection.

  • Mindful: it requires concentration, problem-solving, responsibility, accountability and collaboration.

  • Joyful: it provides a release and balance, and it provides inspiration and satisfaction to our daily life.

  • Social: it gathers us together and helps us work

  • Multicultural: it is embedded in every society and culture around the world, and throughout time.

Native languages, cultures, ceremonies, and ways of being have always been expressed through music!
