• KENTON MUSIC EDUCATORS VISION STATEMENT

    We believe music is an essential part of humanity that not only shapes growing minds, but also touches people's lives emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.  Music ignites the human spirit and enriches the quality of our lives.  It is through our firm commitment as certified music educators that we give children the knowledge of music and its elements; provide life-long skills for active participation in the arts; and develop abilities to understand and appreciate music and its power.
