The Freehold Township High School Music Department seeks to create life-long learners of music. Music is an art that expresses emotion, indicates mood, and helps students to respond to their environment. It develops a student’s character through its emphasis on responsibility, self-discipline, leadership, concentration, respect for and awareness of the contributions of others. Music contains technical, kinesthetic, psychological, artistic, and academic concepts. It is an integral part of life and the human experience. Therefore, it should be studied to further enrich the lives of our students. Our array of Music courses: Band, Chorus, Keyboarding, Music Theory, and Popular Music, do just that.
“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm, harmony, and melody find their way into the inward places of our soul on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is educated graceful.” Plato
