The primary goals of the Band Program at Briarcrest Christian High School are to enhance the individual's potential to understand music as an art form, to encourage the use of music as a form of expression, and to teach the value of music as an aesthetic experience. To accomplish this, we have as our goals to:
- Enable the student to identify and understand the elements of music.
- Provide opportunities for the student to create music.
- Develop the student's ability to make music alone and with others.
- Acquaint the student with diverse styles of music.
- Inform the student of the role of music in society.
- Help the student discover enjoyment through musical expression.
The Band Program seeks to provide instruction, which focuses on a sequential program of skills development, while allowing the student to grow intellectually and socially.
