Core Values

      I believe that the performance and study of music develops better humans, reveals our sense of purpose, and prepares us to cohabitant, participate, and thrive in a diverse world.

      I believe that music should be taught in a loving and nurturing environment, with an appropriate amount of structure and support.  Music students should be introduced to a vast library of musical styles and genres, and encouraged to explore and develop their own unique artistic identity.

      I believe that we have a responsibility to reinforce, elevate, and perpetuate the position of music in society, by educating the next generation of listeners, performers, and musical leaders.
