MUSD Music Department Mission |
Music education in MUSD is inclusive; All students are welcome and feel safe and represented in our classrooms. Music instruction takes into account student variabilities, including but not limited to cultural background, religious belief, gender expression, sexual identity, visible and non-visible disabilities, chronic illness, and physical barriers. Every student has equitable access to music education regardless of academic standing, language proficiency, or socioeconomic status.
Music students engage in Social-Emotional Learning, developing life skills including teamwork, respecting differences, determination, goal-setting, self-regulation, leadership, and growth-mindset. MUSD students have the opportunity to experience diverse musical traditions as part of their educational experience. Multiple musical traditions will have equal importance within our curriculum. MUSD Music department is collaborative; students learn to work together with each other and with their teachers, and faculty work in partnership with each other. We reach out beyond the school walls to join forces with community members and with culture bearers of the music which is taught in the school. Music education in MUSD creates community. Students and teachers work to develop connections within the classroom, to share music with the school community, and to develop ties to the broader community outside of the school walls. |
