At Franklin College, music is an invaluable dimension of a student’s educational experience. A quality music education integrates the processes of performing, interpreting, critiquing and making music in a way that is developmentally appropriate and personally relevant to students’ lives. Music gives students the means to reflect on, organize and express experiences of one’s self and world. Our music program allows for all students to make meaning out of and give an authentic voice to their inner being and outer experiences.
Through the experiential processes of music, students develop both personal and multicultural awareness and understanding, as they reflect upon their own musical experiences as well as those of others.
