Music Survey
As you know, music is part of classical education. Its benefits in deepening a student’s intellectual development is well documented, but it also develops the aesthetic sensibility and character. As we work to develop our music program, it will be helpful to know the existing music interests and backgrounds of our students. The range of music activities will fit the age levels of the students. We are exploring starting an instrumental ensemble in the 5th or 6th grades. A vocal program is also planned for the Logic/Rhetoric levels, within our scheduling parameters.

Please complete the Music Survey by June 17. Please keep in mind that we are still forming our music program, which will be designed to best meet the needs of our students Thanks so much for your help in this information gathering process so that we can make the best decisions for our staff and scheduling.

You may find the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=rBqhQ_2b1swSNLZV4Dp3gt9Q_3d_3d
