Cultivating Lifelong Learners, Creators, & Consumers of Music

Music is a unique and powerful form of communication that transcends the limits of verbal expression. It involves and affects both thought and emotion and makes a unique contribution to the growth and development of children and society as a whole.

Each student has an inherent need to develop avenues for self-expression and communication.  It is the goal of AACPS to provide a program which ensures that all students have access to a program where they can learn to value music through the acquisition of skills, knowledge and concepts.  A foundation should be formed for a lifetime of musical experiences and growth.    

Please email the Music Office at musicoffice@aacps.org with any questions.
