Recent studies have demonstrated clearly that music education enhances numerous aspects of a child's social development and academic success.  Students who experience music fully in a public school setting are better participants in group activities, have better emotional expression, and exhibit better emotional management in their lives.  The Vision of the Hempfield School District Music Department is the enrichment of our students, our community, and ourselves through the art of music. 

The Mission of the Hempfield School District Music Department is to provide varied and engaging classroom, rehearsal, lesson, and performance experiences, to impart musical skills, knowledge and emotional expression, to enhance students’ wellbeing, and to inspire and nurture the love of music in all students.
