God has given all of us talent which we have been instructed to use to the best of our abilities. Music is one of the greatest gifts from God to His people and Martin Luther High School provides the opportunity for students to use this gift to praise and honor Him. Music is truly a universal language, which provides the opportunity to better understand other cultures both past and present. The study of music provides the opportunity to enhance the creativity of the individual, to develop aesthetic sensitivity and self-expression.
