About Us

The Instrumental Music Department at Caesar Rodney High School enrolls over 200 students from the 9th through 12th grades who participate in several ensembles.

Our Philosophy of Music Education

Music is a fundamental piece of the human experience. Music Education is therefore a necessary endeavor to ensure that the whole child is being educated. This includes skill development, cognitive understanding, and aesthetic appreciation for many forms of music.
