I think the philosophy statement is excellent, addressing all important goals of our music program. I especially like the part about students learning to love music and enjoy it.

Middle School is where we set the "hook".  Kids have to REALLY dig it if they're going to stick with it.  Playing "Eye of the Tiger" now will help instill their love of "Lincolnshire Posy" later.

I like the emphasis that ALL students have equitable access, not just the talented, superstar musicians but also those students in our classrooms that struggle emotionally, physically and mentally. ALL students deserve the right to a  qualitymusical education.

I love the thought of vertical alignment from K-12 music. Having a well-scripted curriculum map that gives not only the instructors but the students/families a structure of the experience that a child could or should have in music may give more "buy-in" or consideration to retention and excitement of what they are doing in their music classrooms.

We need to establish a connection to "beyond secondary education" experiences. This statement supports that.

Music isn't an essential part of learning, but it is an essential part of a holistic curriculum.  Or an essential part of our civilization.  Or an essential part of a complete education.  (or similar...)
Furthermore, how are we distinguishing between love, enjoyment, understanding, and respect?  Could we just say a lifelong love and understanding of music?  Or is there another essential component that we wish to include?  Is respect and enjoyment  different enough to stand on their own as goals?  Lastly, should there be any mention of collaboration, or the communal/cultural significance of music-making as a group?

The collaboration music requires is so vital to the elementary student, who learn through this effort how to listen, empathize, and be a group member.

I love the first point of creating, responding, performing, and connecting, which really encompasses the world of elementary music!
