PHILOSOPHY
The Music Department at Bishop Kelly High School subscribes to the belief that a balanced secondary education should incorporate opportunities for students to expand their musical awareness—both vocally and instrumentally. Such experiences can serve to provide cultural growth and personal fulfillment as well as unlimited enjoyment. Exposure to music theory and music history can lead students to a deeper understanding of and appreciation for a variety of types of music including classical, folk, jazz and contemporary. Through a study of the time-periods of music throughout the world—and the characteristics peculiar to them—Bishop Kelly students will be given opportunities to develop a lifelong appreciation for music along with the ability to become knowledgeable performers and attentive and sensitive listeners. In addition to performance-based offerings, the Music Department at Bishop Kelly High School will sponsor appreciation-based course offerings whose goals will be to provide the total student body with opportunities to encounter a cross-section of the richness of the world's greatest music in a non-performance environment.
