Earn a Music Buck for your class. Take the Music Back to School Quiz! **The Belvidere Cluster Schools Music Philosophy** Music is so important in our cultural heritage that it is an integral part of the total educational program. To each new generation this facet of our heritage is a source of knowledge, inspiration and pleasure which enables us to form a way of life. Music contributes much to the fulfillment of social, emotional, and spiritual needs. As individuals face the everyday problems of life, they need aesthetic and inspirational experiences. We, as music educators, believe music education can increase the sensitivity of all children to the power of music as an art and develop their potential to perceive the art of music keenly and respond to it deeply. In addition, music is without any doubt the most cross-curricular of subjects in any school. On a daily basis, we teach math (fractions), language arts (syllabication, rhyming), movement (dance), science (sound, production media, acoustics), social studies (world cultures, history), health (good breathing, posture, bad effects of smoking, voice change), multiple world languages (songs from all world cultures), and art, all while teaching the subject we love. The Music Curriculum embraces the life of the communities of the cluster and draws on the nation and the world for its course content to enrich and maintain our cultural heritage.
