Music

Our single subject curriculum has been developed over the course of the past 20 years to accommodate for the needs of our increasingly diverse student body.

Image Description

Music is an inseparable component of every culture, and has been found to affect people intellectually, emotionally, physically, personally and socially. Furthermore, music creates an unequivocal mind-body connection and is experienced through simultaneously visual, aural, and kinesthetic activities at all levels of achievement./n An education in music is part and parcel with an education that values students as young people already navigating the world. Their own past experiences are expressed, new ones are discovered and most of all, they are examined with scrutiny. Music is an essential human activity that has a place in our schools, because children are in them.
