Why Music Education

Our Goals

Master Skills
To teach students to master skills that will enable them to perform music well on their chosen instrument, leading to lifelong enjoyment and personal fulfillment through music.
Decision Making
To teach students to make decisions in situations where there are no standard answers.
Self-Expression
To develop students’ understanding of and appreciation for music as a vehicle for creative self-expression and as a key to understanding past and present human experience.
Nonverbal Communication
To teach students to analyze and interpret nonverbal forms of communication and make informed judgments of cultural products and issues.
Respect Others
To teach students to adapt to and respect others’ ways of thinking, working, and expressing themselves.
Problem Solving Skills
To teach students artistic modes of problem solving, which bring analytical and developmental tools to every situation.
