We believe

Every child has a right to quality music education Music education provides many benefits to students

at all levels The perseverance and discipline involved in being

part of a musical ensemble is excellent training for a complex society

Music is creative, responsive, expressive and “in the moment”

HRM supplementary funding provides these music programs in addition to regular music classes to enrich arts education opportunities for our students.

The Halifax Schools Music Centre programs encompass the outcomes of music education under the NS Dept. of Education guidelines.

Support for the arts in schools is valued in HRM and we are fortunate to be able offer a variety and depth of programs to our students.
