We believe that the understanding, practice, and study of music enriches the quality of life, nourishes the human spirit, and fosters the growth of intellect, creativity, and character.
We believe that the drive to learn is an innate human quality. We encourage curiosity, discovery, and engagement through an active learning process.
We believe in the power of interpersonal communications, and actively practice and teach skills of listening, empathy, and collaborative effort.
We value an inclusive community of students, parents, faculty, and supporters, celebrating differences of race, culture, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
