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.
