Modes of Instruction for Arts Program

A thoughtful curriculum design provides students with alternative ways to perceive and experience the world. A standards-based arts education program provides a means by which all students can work at a personalized pace, develop self-expression and self-confidence, and experience a sense of accomplishment.

Our focus is on subject-centered arts instruction, developing the foundation skills in each arts discipline in a well-planned way. Instruction that links the arts with other core subjects is achieved in ways that strengthen the instructional goals of the subject matter. However, we have further categorized our program in three modes and these are following.

While we are discussing arts here, we should also emphasize the importance of music here too. Throughout history, music has been an integral part of the human experience. Archaeological evidence of musical instruments, such as bone flutes and drums, predates even agricultural tools and written language. According to researchers at Harvard University and other institutions, correlations have been found between creating music and the higher functions of the human brain, linking music making with language discrimination and development, mathematical ability, social behavior, and improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning, a cornerstone of problem solving and other high-level cognitive functions.
