MUSIC ARTS ACADEMY

Arts Academy 2023-24 Updates 

2023-24 Report

We are off to a great start in the Arts Academy, and it is so exciting to see all of our students thriving in private lessons.  We have increased our instructor base to total 15 instructors, new instruments are now being offered, and lessons are happening all over campus.  Last year we taught a total of 2,270 lessons with 136 active students.  This year we are looking to break that by quite a bit.  We have five rooms with acoustic pianos available, and a handful of other areas as well to teach.  Recently I needed a rehearsal room and had to walk to the other side of campus to find one because all of our rooms were in use through the Academy.  This is so exciting!  

Lesson Cost - 2024 Increase

Starting this month, January of 2024, all 30 minute lessons will be $35 per lesson.  This pricing is in line with the industry and teachers throughout our area, and reflects inflation but also the value of our instructors.  Please be aware of this increase, your instructors should be putting this into effect this month.

Website & Growth

You are our greatest source of advertisement for the Academy.  Please share the great things that are happening with your student and their progress.  We are constantly taking on new students, please help us by encouraging other families to get involved.  We also take non-TCS students after school, we want to offer what we have to the community as a whole.  We are also interested in new instructors.  If you know of an instructor interested in getting involved, we would be glad to speak with them and see if it’s a good fit.  Feel free to direct them to the website: https://tcslions.org/arts-academy.

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.
