Mission:
Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to a quality music education so that the power of music can be used to create a community in which all children can joyfully grow into healthy and thriving adults.
Vision:
Our vision is to have a long-lasting positive impact on students by empowering them to grow into their full potential to be confident, caring, hard-working, ambitious, and thriving adults.
Core Values:
Inclusion: We work to create flexible and individualized curriculum for each student because we believe every child has the potential for a bright future and the ability to make beautiful music. We welcome children from all walks of life, never discriminating based on age, sex, race, religion, social background, physical or mental disabilities, or any other perceived barriers.
Equal Access: We actively work to overcome any financial, physical, or mental barriers so that any child who wants a music education has access to one that is suited to their individual needs.
Community: We believe that for children to grow into thriving adults, every child needs a caring adult and a community where they feel they belong, they are valued, and they are safe to learn and grow. Music has the power to foster this kind of community. Students, families, and teachers will form an inclusive, supportive, and safe community where musical, physical, and emotional needs are met, and students are empowered to grow into excellent musicians and beautiful human beings. The Grace Notes community also seeks to serve the wider community through various public performances and community events.
Joy: Students will fall in love with making music, playing their instruments, and being part of a musical community because it brings joy to their lives and to the life of the community.
Excellence: Music is the motivator! At Grace Notes a strong musical foundation is established to allow for beautiful music to be made right away and for students to pursue musical endeavours of their choosing.
