'Strong Arts, Strong Schools’ “The arts are part of what makes people well educated. Take them away and people will be less well educated.
Children made to live without the arts are inevitably poorer for it. This is why every young person, without
exception, should be given access to the study of the arts, not to become an artist, but to be better educated.”
- Charles Fowler -
“Fine Arts Music Programs
beginning violin workshops provide our students with many skills that both enhance and contribute to our academic program.
Their instructors are extraordinary…
It is amazing to witness what they accomplish
with the students.
The performances are inspirational.”
Dr. Catherine Gannon – Principal, Sutherland School
