Music Philosophy
Music is a fundamental component of the educational program in the Three Village Central School District. The music department strives to enable students to express the verbally inexpressible and work beyond any limitations they may have. In addition to the aesthetic experience every student-musician receives, participation in music also helps the development of positive life-skills such as self-discipline, cooperation, communication, adaptation, and more. Additionally, studies show that when music is included in a student’s daily learning, reading, writing, and math scores improve.
