The purpose of music education in the Littleton Public Schools is to assist each student, commensurate with individual capacity, to appreciate, understand, and respond with discrimination to the aesthetic effect of music. Aesthetic responsiveness is attained by providing experiences in making and listening to music that increases the student’s sense of beauty, concept of discrimination, and receptivity to a wide range of human emotions.
The music program is geared to develop sensitivity to the cultural heritage of the world through an understanding and appreciation of music in its many forms.  This sensitivity is developed by providing participative experience with music of many lands and people, of many composers of different eras, and of many types and styles - both vocal and instrumental, in the classical, folk and popular fields.
