Music Advocacy

"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy, but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning." --Plato

See articles and links below regarding why your child should study music and how to support music education.

Music for All Advocacy

The music department provides a variety of activities and courses for all interested students, fosters the development of individual abilities, and offers ample opportunities for growth, understanding and expression through musical activities.

Courses are scheduled so that any student can participate in any combination of BOTH instrumental and vocal ensembles. Certain students may compete for participation in district, regional, and state performance festivals through the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Various groups are required to perform in school concerts and may be involved in school shows.

Please see the Haverford High School Course Selection Guide for additional information on music courses.
