MUSIC |
|
Music is, by definition, capable of influencing one's deepest thoughts and feelings. Therefore, it is used both by God and by Satan to affect changes in a person's life. Satan, having been chief musician in heaven before his fall, knows all too well how to use the medium of music to lure students and adults into disobedience. Therefore, it is important that we be careful how we use music and what music we choose to become involved with, either as a performer or a listener. Music is an integral part of Highland Academy, and we feel it is important to help the student to understand its proper use in expressing honor and praise to God. We are ever striving to apply these principles to secular and sacred music in all parts of our school program. Secular music which is to be performed at occasions such as banquets and Saturday night programs must be approved through the Audition Committee at least two weeks in advance of the performance. The music department facilities have been provided primarily for students enrolled in music classes and organizations. Students must have permission from a music teacher to use the facilities. |
