Philosophy
Music is a fundamental component of the educational program in the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. The music department strives to enable students to express the verbally inexpressible and work beyond any limitations they may have. In addition to the aesthetic experience every student-musician receives, participation in music also helps the development of positive life-skills such as self-discipline, cooperation, communication, adaptation, and more. Additionally, studies show that when music is included in a student’s daily learning, reading, writing, and math scores improve.
