St. Mary’s School

Music Department Philosophy

 

We believe that the study of music is essential to a complete education.

We believe that music promotes the emotional and spiritual welfare of our students.

We believe that the study of music helps students develop skills in self-expression, creativity, cooperation, teamwork, physical coordination, intellect, and an understanding of history and world cultures.

We believe that all students are capable of making music, and that they learn best by actively participating in a carefully sequenced curriculum.

We believe that a multi-media approach, which takes into account varied learning styles, is the most effective means of enabling all children to learn.

We believe that student understanding is facilitated when students sing, play, listen, move, perform, analyze, create, and improvise.
