The mission of the Principia music program is to “afford proof of [the] utility” of music by showing its power to “elevate,” “rouse the dormant understanding . . . to the understanding of spiritual ideas” and to “cast out devils, or error, and heal the sick” in both practical and metaphorical ways. (From definition for “Church” from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, 583:12-19)
The vision of Principia Music is to help students maintain a balance between intellectual pursuits and artistic experience in a way that builds confidence and professionalism. We foster a lifelong passion for music and nurture unique and essential qualities that shape the character and spiritual progress of each participant. Our highest ideals in this pursuit are working hard to achieve excellence, sacrificing self for community, expressing a sense of joy for the opportunity to perform, and demonstrating grace and resilience.
