NEWS:
We are pleased to report the healthy progress and steadygrowth of our music program and more importantly of the students who arededicated to quality music making.

In our music program we provide an opportunity for artistic expression that astudent could not experience on their own. But our program goes beyond thedevelopment of basic skills and artistic talent. We are dedicated to developingthe following values:

*   Individual responsibility
*   Group and individual respect
*   Personal trust
*   Genuine caring
*   Commitment to our musical family

The implementation, reinforcement and integration of these disciplines serve asthe foundation for our program.

Our mission is to develop a musical community. Before we can attain harmony,balance and blend within the music, we must establish it with one another. Tobuild and strengthen our musical performances, we have to build and strengthenour personal relationships within the group. We must create a safe atmospherethat encourages risk, growth, failure, persistence and a focus on excellence.In our musical family everyone counts. Our winning combination is:
          Parental Support + Student Desire + Teacher Guidance =
                                             CERTAIN SUCCESS

Success creates success. Success in music translates to success in life. Ourstudents experience being a part of this successful musical community by:

*   CARING for other students who share a similar dream
*   RESPECTING self and fellow musicians
*   Demonstrating RESPONSIBILITY on and off the performance stage
*   Manifesting TRUST by being dependable and honest
