Band & Choir Mission & Philosophy
Our Mission
The Lahainaluna High School Band & Choir is dedicated to providing a comprehensive, standards-based music education to all students. Our program fosters artistic development, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity. Through performance and engagement with music, students will develop individual skills, build a sense of belonging, and forge strong connections with our community.
Our Philosophy
We believe that music is a vital component in developing the whole child. Music education provides a unique opportunity for students to explore their creativity and artistic expression, while gaining a deeper understanding of diverse cultures.
A comprehensive music education helps students develop self-discipline and focus, leading to increased confidence that benefits all areas of their studies. We are committed to a balanced and sequential curriculum that aligns with national, state, and local standards. Through music, students gain lifelong skills and aesthetic awareness that contribute to a more cultured and educated society.
