Basis
for Music
(quoted from the Standard Course of Study)
Music has always been part of our lives. It is deeply imbedded in our existence, adding depth and dimension to our
environment, exalting the human spirit, and contributing in important ways to our quality of life. Music is one of the primary
ways we learn about ourselves, others, actions and consequences, and traditions and beliefs. Music is one of the fundamental
ways human beings create and communicate meanings. All students, regardless of age, cultural heritage, ability, or financial
circumstances, should participate fully in the highest quality musical experiences possible.
