I left my notes at home

But...some quick thoughts:

first, we must rethink the entire art program. Goals?

  • That our students shift from seeing the arts as a consumer/producer relationship to
    it being communal, expressive, spontaneous
  • That they understand the role of form and the use of materials but never lose their sense of play.

As for music, I see us as developing several lines of study:

instrument maker-->who composes a tune-->teaches it -->hears it back
deep listener of many musics--> can we start an online radio station?
piano player primitive who understands tone and mood, and the several dimensions
of music e.g. rhythm, register, harmony, melody
