Quaker Valley was named one of the “100 Best Communities for Music Education” by the National Association of Music Makers (NAMM) for the 14th year in a row in 2018. The criteria used in judging music education included the percentage of music courses that are required versus elective, class sizes, the size of the music staff, as well as community resources that support music and the arts. Quaker Valley students continue to compete and excel at the local, regional, state and national levels.

Grateful that the @PADeptofEd recognized the importance of giving students well-rounded school experiences this year while dealing with the pandemic. This guide is strong: https://www.education.pa.gov/Documents/K-12/Safe%20Schools/COVID/GuidanceDocuments/ARP%20ESSER%20Guidebook.pdf Some highlights for music educators/advocates (THREAD)/1:

There are a lot of comparison games in the world of education. I see it a lot in music ed because the “products” of music programs are very visible. If I had a dollar for every time someone said something like “I wish we could do _____ like (other school) does…” /1

High expectations are unrealistic expectations if you don't provide the support, resources, encouragement, and time to achieve them.

Music is
Elementary.

Elementary students are “tuned in” to music beginning in the first grade. Music exploration and learning is achieved through singing, playing of classroom instruments, movement, and listening to music. Students are exposed to a variety of musical styles including traditional folk songs, patriotic music, and multicultural music. Creativity is constantly fostered, encouraged, and celebrated.
