OUR MISSION:
In resonance with the BASD mission, the BASD music programs provide musical experiences to all students as a process of performing, describing and creating in order to:
- Enhance cultural understanding both past and present
- Build empathy towards others
- Build self-confidence through skill development
- Build a sense of belonging through positive group dynamics and develop a shared asthetic experience
- Create independent lifelong learners
- Create an appreciation for music as a fundamental part of humanity
Through a standards based curriculum and a common set of expectations.
