At St. Aloysius School music plays an essential role in each child's education. Students are provided a wide-range of opportunities to sing, play instruments, dance, listen to music, compose, and act.
Our curriculum embraces the philosophy that “a good understanding of the arts grows out of at least three modes of knowledge ---creative (i.e. performance), historical, and analytical. |
