Music is Art!
Music enhances our minds and connects with human beings in a unique way, giving students powerful tools for understanding human experiences and communicating with the world around them.  Music is an essential ingredient to build characteristics and intellectual skills required to participate effectively in today’s society.  The Arts teach self-discipline, reinforce self-esteem and foster thinking skills and creativity.

Students in music classes are taught to see, think, hear and respond as musicians.  Students learn the importance of music literacy through the study of notation, basic theory and music history.  Making connections with the relationships between music and the world in which we live, students are able to draw connections between music and culture, while being introduced to a diverse range of musical styles and cultures.  Students learn various concepts of music such as; the basics of matching pitch and singing, reading notation and playing classroom instruments, singing various styles of songs including hymns for monthly masses, etc.  Students also learn that music relates to other core subjects that are part of the curriculum.  Students synthesize, relate knowledge and personal experiences, which helps students to relate artistic ideas and deepen understanding.   

Activities in music class assist students in the important goal of shaping them into well-rounded musicians in addition to giving students opportunities to be lifelong learners and create lifelong, positive memories with music.
