Mater Dei High School Music Academy
We, the Mater Dei High School Music Academy, believe in building individual confidence and group collaboration by pursuing excellence from day one. We encourage all students to excel spiritually, and musically through expression and individual creativity.
STUDENTS INVOLVED IN MUSIC:
“
Pursuing Excellence From Day One!
Stay in engaged in school Earn higher grades Build intellectual curiosity, and creative thinking skills Develop language and reasoning skills Build pride and confidence within themselves Music does more than just make sounds, it changes the way young people think and behave. The skills your child will learn in music will help them be successful on the stage, in the classroom, and for the rest of their lives. “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” – Albert Einstein
