A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOr

We are now finishing our fourth week of school, and are already noticing improvement in  each of our Arts areas!  The students came in ready and hungry to learn, and are truly soaking it all up!  From amazing auditions in all of our Theatre groups, to first notes in the Band and Orchestra rooms, to new students coming in and bringing solid gifts, we at Trinity are truly blessed!

As we progress through the school year, the students’ efforts at home are just as important as on campus.  We know that practice at home and individual time invested in their part to play makes a huge difference.  Students come in more confident when they have worked at home, and make much larger strides in their personal development.  And the group as a whole benefits as well, with each person contributing fully to the group effort.  

Parents, please continue to encourage your student to put in the effort.  This encouragement from home is vital as we partner together.  Keep working on memorization of lines and lyrics, practicing those scales over and over, working on vocal technique, studying theory, and so much more.  

Lastly, THANK YOU for your support and encouragement.  We sense this in great measure from you, our parents!  Our families are outstanding, and we are seeing God do great things in the Arts as we continue to partner together!

HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE - EARLY MORNING WORKOUTS

As we continue to grow as performers and technicians, we want to look for ways to continue to learn, try new things, and master techniques. This year, we are offering “morning workouts” where High School students can attend before school to stretch their theatre muscles.

We will be releasing a calendar monthly, but days will vary based on skills, upcoming events, and more. At times, we will have guest teachers, and students will be able to take advantage of experts in this field!

Workouts are week days from 7:30-8am in Room 502.

MUSIC ARTS ACADEMY

NOW ENROLLING - SIGN UP TODAY!!

To enhance the Performing Arts experience at Trinity Christian School, we offer the opportunity for private instruction, with a growing number of vocal and instrumental options. We have several new offerings this year, including clarinet, voice, and even harp. Our programs offer instruction at various levels to include those who are newly discovering their musical talents, as well as those who have been refining their art for years.  Interested in private instruction?  This is the place for you!

Here is a list of our current instructors.  

For information regarding private music lessons, please contact one of the above instructors or visit https://tcslions.org/arts-academy.  

To register, please contact performingarts@tcslions.org.  All private music lessons are taught on the TCS campus, and are scheduled on an individual basis.  We can’t wait to get you started!!

INSTRUMENT REPAIR

We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments.  If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you.  The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus.  Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table.  This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now.  Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
