Education

Local public school districts, as well as private high schools, have faced tremendous financial challenges throughout the past ten years.

As a result, Music & Dance programs in these schools do not adequately prepare most students for the study of music.

Therefore, FSMD's Music & Dance department is designed to address the needs of all students. For this reason, our mission, goals, & objectives are strongly addressed.
