The Impact of K-12 Music Education
In CFSD, students begin their music education pathway in kindergarten, and many students go on to perform in orchestra, band, and/or choir. "Fine Arts is just one of those critical things that you need in life. It’s kind of like a change of scenery and kind of gives you a better perspective on life," says Antonio Padilla, Falcon Steel player and Falcon Marching Band drum major. "And so you should always encourage your kids to join some kind of fine arts program because it will always benefit them in some way, whether it’s leading them to music or teaching them real-life skills.”
