EXPRESSION AND CONNECTION
We believe music reflects our humanity and our complexity. Through music, all students have the potential to enhance their personal confidence, community responsibility, discipline, kindness, self-possession, and humility. In addition, it provides a joyful mode of expression and exchange; it assists in social, personal, and cognitive development; it allows students to accept “delayed gratification” and the deeper rewards that come when putting in sustained work over time; and it fosters a strong work ethic. It is a means of expression and connection, of comfort and understanding, and of renewal and inspiration.
