Why Music?

In the Baldwin-Whitehall School District, we believe that music is an innate part of human existence.  Music is something that touches our souls in ways that words and images cannot.  And we believe that studying and experiencing music is an essential part of every child's education.  Join us in using the resources below to spread the word about the importance of music education in our society and in the Baldwin-Whitehall School District!
