Artistic Philosophy
At the Patel Conservatory:
We will provide a place where creativity is celebrated, honored and revered.
We will respect traditional performing arts as well as new forms.
We will encourage students to experience all artistic disciplines in developing their own unique style.
We will listen to our students and help them to realize the practical steps necessary to make their visions a reality.
We will instill in our students a sense of pride that accompanies disciplined work habits and self-determination.
We will offer arts opportunities for all ages and interests.
We will provide a safe space for exploration and development.
We will reinforce the guiding principle that artistic growth never ends and that unrealized ideas are natural components of artistic growth.
We will develop a common artistic vocabulary so that we can communicate across disciplines.
We will reinforce the principle that art is process, not product.
