“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the
glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
     -
Johann Sebastian Bach
 

Philosophy of Music Education

At St. Croix Catholic School, we believe that music is essential to educating the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. Performing, creating, and responding to music facilitate the understanding of aesthetics, expression, and creativity. Music encourages understanding of the historical and cultural heritage of our community and the global community. Knowledge of the fundamentals of music leads to a fuller participation in liturgy and worship. Because music is a basic expression of human culture, every student should have access to a comprehensive music education.
