A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education because

rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.” – Plato

It is not an understatement to say that music education has been one of the most important parts of our individual and collective development as people across time. The practice of music has been used to entertain, heal, bring people together, educate, and most importantly draw us closer to God. Observing the current conversation surrounding music education and advocacy in schools, it seems that the impact of music has been lost along the way and deemed non-essential in some educational settings. But for us at Trinity, we understand the significance of a healthy music education program in our students’ development.  I love the statement of the Belgian author, Paul Carvel: “Music deserves to be the mandatory second language of all schools in the world.” We are working hard to enhance the offerings we have for each student at each level.  And we so appreciate the support from each of our TCS families.  We are succeeding together, and great things are in store for all of our students in the Performing Arts!

MANEstage Productions presents... Disney's Finding Nemo Jr.!

Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.

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.
