Our Mission
The music department of the Equity Project (TEP) Charter School seeks to develop musicians by emphasizing skills and understandings that apply to both their instrument of specialization and the broader world they inhabit.
Performing
With an emphasis on technical proficiency, TEP trains musicians to perform with a high degree of skill on their chosen instrument.
Responding
TEP students are trained to analyze a wide variety of musical genres, and the cultures they reflect, and to be able to articulate the factors that lead to their perception.
Connecting
TEP places a high degree of emphasis on the experience of mastery in music, through which students develop self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and an appreciation of the effort needed to achieve success in any field.
