Deer Park Named One of Best Communities for Music Education

Deer Park School District has been named one of the "Best Communities
for Music Education" across the country by the NAMM foundation. 

The Best Community designation highlights districts who work hard to keep music education an integral part of the core curriculum. Now in its 14th year, the program requires each school and district to detail funding, staffing, commitment to standards and access to music instruction.

“It is gratifying that the music teachers and students from Deer Park are being recognized for their exceptional work,” said District Administrator for Fine and Performing Arts Dr. Jeff Dailey. “The music program in Deer Park is very advanced and includes instruction in wind, string, and percussion instruments, as well as piano, organ, guitar, didgeridoo, dulcimer, and theremin. In addition, vocal music is also an integral part of the program, as is musical theatre, and the district offers college-level instruction in music theory. Our hope is to expand these programs and add new ones in the future.”
