Performing Arts

Music

Music helps develop language and reasoning, helps develops memorization mastery skills, promotes craftsmanship, increases coordination, keeps students engaged in school, fine-tunes auditory skills, develops creative thinking, develops spatial intelligence, improves team working skills, and gives students better self-confidence.

Every elementary school in Marion County offers a music program for their K-5 students. Our secondary schools offer a variety of band and choral classes. Some of our schools offer additional music courses such as keyboard, music theory, and guitar. Please contact your school for more information!

  

Dance

Helps physical development, increases emotional maturity, makes students more socially aware, and increases cognitive development. 

We currently offer full dance programs at Madison Street Academy, Belleview High School, and West Port High School.
