Music is an important part of every child's education. The study of music helps students become emotionally intelligent people, who are self-aware and cognizant of their influence on others. Learning an instrument requires self-discipline, especially in home practice, and teamwork, especially during ensemble rehearsals. As a musician, you will encounter challenges learning new skills and joy when you overcome them.
Each student attends weekly general music classes. We are proud to say that we are growing our instrumental music programs, allowing your children to learn musical instruments during the school day. Use this website to help you practice, learn, and have fun!
