Music

At BASD we value core academic achievement yet just as importantly we embrace our responsibility to move our students beyond the traditional content and provide opportunities to engage the arts - to support innovation, curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. A strong music education program is integral to this goal.

As shared by the National Music Education Association, studies have demonstrated positive links between music education and achievement. These outcomes help affirm the value of music programs; however, music study does something even more important for students.

• Music education shapes the way our students understand themselves and the world around them;
• Studying music allows for deeper engagement with learning; and
• Music education programs essentially nurture the assets and skills that pave the way for a student’s future success, such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, self-discipline, and motivation.
