The Arts are universal forms of expression necessary to the understanding to nature, human nature, and their relationship to humanity. We believe music is a unique form of communication through which students can express themselves and understand the expression of others. Music education provides opportunities for students to observe, listen, create, and to recreate perceptions, ideas and feelings.
Thompson Public Schools recognize that, in an ever-changing cultural and technological world, students must be enriched through the study of music in order to gain and understanding and appreciation of life. Arts education is a key component for the development of the total child. It is the medium through which students can learn, understand, and value other cultures, as well as participate in and contribute to their own. Finally, it is through Arts education that artistic intelligence is developed so that informed aesthetic choices can be made, and the individual can enjoy a lifetime of varied musical experiences.
