The Vision of the PVRHSD Music Department
Music is universal, cultural, and individual. Music is an integral part of the human condition and is essential to the well-rounded education of all students. The ability to create, perform, and respond to music emotionally and intellectually has an important humanizing influence. The language, skills, knowledge, and habits acquired through the study of music enrich students’ lives. Through these experiences, while striving for excellence, students build strong character and develop positive personal relationships with others to engage and succeed in a culturally diverse society. Music is a common thread that has the power to link people and ideas together. Music education strives to provide insight into the universal human experience.
It is our belief that every student should have the opportunity to receive high-quality music education in school, regardless of grade level, ability level, or background. To accomplish this, the Music Department works hard to nurture an environment of inclusivity and equity, where differences are respected, embraced and celebrated.
