Heritage believes that Music and Art are just as vital to a child’s education and well being as are Mathematics and Physical Education. Here at Heritage nobody says that you must know how to sing to take Chorus, or that you must be an amazing painter to go to Art class. That’s not how it is; that’s not why these subjects were put into our country’s public schools. Performing and Visual Arts are put into our schools to help broaden our beings and show us culture.
Visual Arts, Dancing, Singing, Orchestra, Band, Acting, Writing, etc. are all outlets for us to express ourselves in and also serve as a way for us to connect with others
Music helps the mind develop and grow and actually improves communication between the right and left sides of the brain, allowing one to gain better comprehension and memorization skills.
Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork.
