Where Innovation Meets Community Impact

​

At Leadways School, we believe that arts education is fundamental to developing well-rounded, confident individuals. Our Music & Art Program provides students with rich opportunities to explore their creativity, develop technical skills, and gain appreciation for diverse cultural expressions through both visual and performing arts.​

​

Program Philosophy 

Our arts program is built on the belief that every student has creative potential waiting to be discovered and nurtured. Rather than focusing solely on technical perfection, we emphasize exploration, self-expression, and the joy of artistic creation. Through hands-on experiences with various art forms, students develop their unique voices while gaining appreciation for the artistic expressions of diverse cultures and traditions.

Music Education

Our music program invites students to become both appreciative listeners and confident creators through:

• Instrumental Exploration: Students have opportunities to discover and experiment with various musical instruments, learning basic techniques and understanding the unique qualities of each.

• Vocal Development: Through both individual and choral singing, students develop their voices as expressive instruments while learning proper vocal techniques.

• Music Composition: Students learn the fundamentals of music theory and apply these concepts by composing their own original pieces, from simple melodies to more complex arrangements.

• Cultural Music Studies: Students explore music from around the world, recognizing how different cultures express themselves through unique instruments, rhythms, and musical traditions.

• Performance Opportunities: Regular recitals, concerts, and informal sharing sessions allow students to build confidence and experience the satisfaction of sharing their musical growth.

​

Visual Arts

Our visual arts curriculum encourages students to experiment with multiple mediums and techniques:

• Foundational Skills: Students learn the elements and principles of art, developing technical skills in drawing, painting, sculpting, and mixed media.

• Artistic Exploration: Rather than following rigid formulas, students are encouraged to experiment with materials and techniques to discover their preferred methods of expression.

• Art History and Appreciation: Students study works from diverse artists and traditions, learning to analyze and appreciate art within its historical and cultural context.

• Portfolio Development: As students progress, they compile portfolios of their work that demonstrate their growth, experimentation, and emerging personal style.

• Community Art Projects: Collaborative installations and exhibitions connect student artwork to our school community and beyond.
