We believe • Every child has a right to quality music education • Music education provides many benefits to students at all levels • The perseverance and discipline involved in being part of a musical ensemble is excellent training for a complex society • Music is creative, responsive, expressive and “in the moment”
HRM supplementary funding provides these music programs in addition to regular music classes to enrich arts education opportunities for our students. • The Halifax Schools Music Centre programs encompass the outcomes of music education under the NS Dept. of Education guidelines. • Support for the arts in schools is valued in HRM and we are fortunate to be able offer a variety and depth of programs to our students.
