The Mission, Vision, and Philosophy of Studio Percussion
Mission:
To encourage, inspire, and motivate young people towards excellence in life and leadership.
Vision:
To provide services in the arts which create meaningful and significant experiences for young people not excluding those with financial limitations, disabilities, or at-risk youth.
Philosophy:
ENCOURAGE. We believe that the arts can be used to build self-esteem and confidence. We are committed to challenging our students in healthy ways and encouraging them to discover their self-worth.
"By believing in me,
you made me believe
in myself. Thank you!"
— Nic (student)
INSPIRE. We believe that if you can encourage a student, you will also be able to inspire the student. We take great pride in teaching music but it's just a tool to us. Honesty, integrity, and honor are a few values at the core of who we are and we want to be able to inspire our students to share the same.
MOTIVATE. We believe that it takes inspiration to motivate people. Our students are naturally motivated towards excellence in our program. We believe that learning excellence in one area of life will spill over into other areas such as school and community service. We want to motivate students towards excellence in life and leadership.
MEANING. Encouraging, inspiring, and motivating our students is what gives our program meaning. We further invest in our students by giving them opportunities to invest in our program by empowering them to teach other students, administrate parts of their classes, participate in fundraising, and help plan and coordinate in events.
"Thank you for giving
my
kids an opportunity
they
otherwise wouldn't have!"
— Gena (parent)
SIGNIFICANCE. We don't just teach the drums. We are changing lives. That is what gives our program significance. Knowing this we actively seek the support of the community to provide scholarship opportunities for those would normally be unable to participate in our program.
