Our Philosophy

Music fulfills the creative aesthetic, and emotional needs of every student by finding and directing the power of personal creativity through exploration, improvisation and self-expression.  Music is an active and engaging process of perception, reflection, and judgment requiring basic performance and aural skills on the part of all participants if it is to be successful.

Our Mission

The mission identifies the underlying purpose and function of music education in the Barrington Public Schools.
The mission of the Music Curriculum is to prepare students for lifelong appreciation of and literacy in music through an understanding of concepts demonstrating through performance.
