Finding Meaning in Melody<br />
In cultures worldwide, music is a vital part of life. It uplifts the human spirit, creates harmony<br />
between peoples, and communicates different perspectives on the world. Young people<br />
learn about themselves and others, and how to join together with other musicians to give<br />
rise to stirring melody.<br />
All students in the music program have the opportunity to perform as part of an<br />
instrumental ensemble. There are also extracurricular groups for particularly motivated<br />
students. These ensembles often perform at school-wide assemblies, and in competitions<br />
and workshops at various locations around the community. Students in the Beginner Band<br />
are introduced to a large variety of instruments. Goals for more advanced students include<br />
developing stronger technique, more focused tone quality, and increased understanding of<br />
phrasing and musical expression.<br />
Creative Expression<br />
Every young person has the potential to explore the world as an artist. This is crucial for personal<br />
growth of creativity and innovation, which are highly-valued attributes in an ever-changing world.<br />
At <strong>Bodwell</strong>, the Fine Arts punctuates a student’s well-rounded education by contributing visual<br />
arts and performance components. Students develop skills in such areas as drawing, painting,<br />
sculpture, and digital media. Students learn to respond to artwork by describing and interpreting,<br />
and by holding in-class critiques. Further, the theatrical arts provides a venue for English<br />
oral rehearsal, in which students have the opportunity to develop their public speaking and<br />
presentation skills. Throughout the year, the school offers numerous opportunities for students to<br />
showcase their talents through performances and art exhibitions both in school and around the<br />
region.<br />
