ERIE'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS

 

 

 

Our mission is to provide all students with comprehensive, standards based Music Education. We believe that music fosters artistic development, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and pursuit of life-long learning.

 

 

The vision is for every student in Erie's Public Schools to have the opportunity to be involved in instrumental, vocal, theatrical and music technology throughout their K-12 urban education. Every student should have an opportunity to participate, experience, create, respond to and connect with music as informed consumers. This will be accomplished through quality music education programs that include:

 

• Instruction by certified Music Education teachers
• Standard-based, Sequential, K-12 comprehensive curriculum 
• Data-driven instruction
• Differentiated instruction that included active participation, accommodates individual difference and utilizes a variety of learning resources, styles and models.
• Curriculum reviews to ensure consistency of implementation.

 

• Providing equitable access to quality music education
• Increasing involvement with families and local stakeholders
• Increasing engagement with Erie's Public Schools educational community
• Establishing a framework to ensure sustainability

 

It is our belief that sequential music study develops creativity, critical thinking, communications skills and fosters teamwork which enables achievement in society as life-long learners.
