Our Program Philosophy
A musical ensemble relies on the contributions of all of the individuals within it, and it is assumed that all members accept the responsibilities that come from being an essential member of a team. An ensemble cannot function otherwise. That is why the single biggest emphasis in our department is on the development of a sense of responsibility to our musical community. While improving their individual skills obviously requires each student to develop good habits and self- discipline through individual practice, students are also expected to work together at all levels. A student who graduates from Point Grey’s music program is expected to display a commitment to their ensemble, and strive to attain the highest standards possible on behalf of their group.
Our collective goal is to provide a learning environment that is safe, comfortable, and supportive to allow our students the confidence to take the risks necessary to realize their potential.
