It is the function of the Moulton-Udell instrumental music program to develop high musical standards and to impart a basis for musical value judgements. The program will be based upon a respect for music as an art, which imparts aesthetic, moral, and spiritual values. The eventual goal of a performing organization in an educational institution is to perform well with musical understanding, thus creating a desire to seek out musical experiences, to respond to them, and to enjoy them.
"Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul." - Plato
