BRConservatory core values
We believe in…
EASE: Music learning can be approachable, pain-free, and joyful.
EXPRESSION: You have something to say and music is a beautiful and fun way to say it.
MASTERY: The technical aspect of music is learnable. The spirit is already in you–we’ll [give you the tools to translate it through your voice/instrument into what you hear in your head]. <== needs polishing!
CONNECTION: We create customizable learning plans for each student using kindness, honesty, and innovation.
STEWARDSHIP: Everyone deserves music. We provide scholarships and perform at places like senior centers, veteran's homes, and children's hospitals.

Feedback welcome!

  I love the Core Value statements for EASE & EXPRESSION.
  The MASTERY statement feels off. Why aren’t all skills something that people deserve to excel at?
  I think there is a better way to say this or something else that wants to be expressed.
  Not sure this isn’t repetitive or long (there might be better words to use). MASTERY: Music is a creative skill that everyone can master. While you have to put in the work, we make it fun, interesting, joyous… We encourage students through community, play, loving support…

    All this! Wonderful. Will brainstorm a little more and let it simmer overnight.

  These are great! I feel that in Stewardship – you don’t need to state “when possible”.

  I am confused on what the “Not Methods” means in: We teach students (not methods) with kindness, honesty, and creativity.

    Ah, right! I mean we don’t teach a specific methodology or system (like the Suzuki method) at the expense of the student. I’ll work on that language.

      Is this better? CONNECTION: We create customizable learning plans (?) for each student using kindness, honesty, and innovation.

      OR– CONNECTION: We encourage [or a firmer word like guide or lead] individuals to achieve their goals using kindness, honesty, and creativity. [Do I add details about parents being able to observe their children’s lessons, all our teachers having gone through background checks, etc.?]
