Our goal as a music staff is for all of our students to become musical people who can enjoy,experience, and share music all through their lives. We are setting your children up for who they will be in 30 years. We work for our students to grow into adults who are Tuneful, Beatful, and Artful.
Tuneful adults sing lullabies to their babies, join others in singing "Happy Birthday" and other ceremonial songs, and sing with others in worship or celebration.
Beatful Adults gently rock on the beat while singing lullabies, joyfully dance at weddings and other social gatherings, and clap in time with crowds at sporting events and other large gatherings.
Artful adults are moved by beautiful music and seek out expressive music experiences to share with others.
