Why do students have to play instruments?
Playing a musical instrument with proper technique is one of the musical standards set by the state of Florida’s Department of Education Sunshine State Standards. St. Cecelia School strives to touch on all of the state standards. Our music curriculum is based on the realization that not all students will reach the levels set by the state, but that the exposure to the concept is important. Along with the instrumental standards, other musical standards (vocal, written, theoretical, historical) are easily met through and in conjunction with instrumental study.
