MISSION STATEMENT for MUSIC

The Music Department develops students who are confident performers, imaginative and critical thinkers, capable of interpreting and communicating the aesthetic qualities of music, and are knowledgeable patrons of music. Students become empowered to bring the intrinsic values of music into their adult lives.                                      

 As a result of participating in the PCSD Music program, students will be able to independently …

• critically evaluate music heard in live or recorded performances;
• respond to and communicate effectively about the aesthetic qualities of music;
• evaluate and reflect on the role of music in society and a changing world;
• perform as individuals or in a group, playing a role through continued practice in the overall performance's success;
• create and perform music within various contexts that are meaningful and relevant.
