Curriculum Guide: Music Department

Curriculum Co-Coordinators: Dana Long and Ruth Ann Gordon

Departmental aims include enrichment of the life of each student through creative and expressive experiences gained as a result of preparation and performance. Such experiences lead to a more complete understanding and sensitivity to the aesthetic value of the fine arts.

The music curriculum is a culmination of a program that begins in elementary school; however, opportunities exist for students who have not yet made music a part of their academic lives. Department members are required to participate in all concerts and other activities of the organization(s) to which they belong. Members also have the opportunity to participate in the county, area, state, and other music festivals.
