Music is the only area of the curriculum where children are free to express their emotions.
The intellect is simultaneously combined with their inner most feelings. These intangible feelings are given expression through various forms in music. When these forms are processed, students begin to assimilate purpose and shape in their own lives. Music gives to each of us the finest qualities of humanity. Each grade level meets twice a week for thrity minutes.
