ART AND MUSIC FOR INTEREST OR CAREER Creative arts are as necessary to the whole de- velopment of the student as are the academic and vocational studies. At King Philip there are se- quentially progressive art and music programs - grades 7-12. The programs are so planned that they hold interest for both the student who is in- terested in music and art and those who plan to follow careers in these subject fields.
