North Penn School District Music Department
Philosophical Statement
Music is a vital and meaningful component of a child's education and life. It promotes creativity, imaginative and critical thinking, and leads to the development of highly innovative individuals.
Music education provides students with an authentic and unparalleled means of understanding and interacting with the world around them and the person within. Music education cultivates:
Music is a natural expression of the human spirit that nourishes the mind, body and soul. Music is the confluence of the emotional, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and social facets of humanity. It activates nearly every area of the brain, engaging students in complex neurological processes.
Music is everywhere: on all continents, in all nations and cultures, in nature, in all segments of society and media. Music transcends time and all of existence as an expression of our intellect and emotions, and as a reflection of our environment.
