Our Concert Band Clinic with Dr. Julia Baumanis of Rutgers University:
Dr. Baumanis was impressed with our students and emailed Mr. Streifer and Mr. Rooney the following: "I had such a wonderful time working with your students! There is truly a culture of support and excellent dedication to music in the students. The first thing I saw when I walked in was how they were all helping each other and were happy to do so. This was evident through their buy in throughout the entire rehearsal."
"Music, and therefore education in it, is crucial to human flourishing.
Music teaches us things about our common humanity that are worth knowing. Studying and making music changes who we are and what we expect from life."
