The music program is designed to develop musical literacy. Through music, students increase their awareness of rich and diverse cultures, beliefs, and societies of humankind. As students examine the role of music throughout history and in different cultures, they develop respect for diversity. The processes of creating, performing, and understanding music are the primary goals of the music program. While performance is an important aspect of music study, it does not substitute for students development of creativity process and of broader integrated experiences and understandings. Through creating, students are able to imaginative, think critically, and approach task in new or different ways.
