VISION
Performing Arts Education is an integral part of the core curriculum and provides students with unique experiences not taught in other core areas. Study in the performing arts assists student development through allowing them to make connections between intellect and emotion, building aesthetic awareness, and helping students solve problems and communicate ideas. Participating in the performing arts also enhances self-esteem, builds self-discipline, and reinforces societal values, such as cooperation, commitment, and working towards a common goal. Riverside Jr. High Choir believes that every student should have the access to high quality musical training in school, regardless of grade level, ability level, or background. The goal of this musical training is to help participants achieve a personal level of understanding, appreciation, and passion for music.
