In our schools we aim to develop musical skills and concepts through exposure to a variety of holiday selections.

In addition to being a catalyst for the development of musical skills and concepts, repertoire should expand each student’s cultural awareness. This repertoire, and accompanying texts (in the case of vocal music), may or may not be associated with holidays - religious or otherwise. Because tradition and culture are rooted deeply within the composition, performance and enjoyment of music, the study of these traditions and cultures is essential for an optimal musical experience.
