Music Program
The Moraga School District's vision for music education is based on the concept that music is an essential part of life, and integral to the development of the whole person. Comprehensive music education helps children develop creativity, discipline, cooperation, and the self-motivation necessary for success. Our vision is that students will engage in the arts at a deeply enriching level for themselves, their families, and their communities.
