It is the goal of the Pioneer School of Music to provide each student with a stimulating environment best suited to his or her age and education. Our mission is to educate talented musicians so that they may achieve the highest artistic standards. Through this process, the Pioneer School of Music will also help our musicians to become thoughtful, confident and responsible adults.

I believe that enjoying and understanding music and developing the skills to create and perform music enhance the quality of life and nourish the human spirit. I am therefore committed to providing the foundation for a life-long enjoyment of music. It is my hope that we will reach beyond our walls and bring wonderful music experiences to musicians in our community each year. These are the children who will become the performers and audiences of tomorrow.
