“Bearing the image of the Creator as we cultivate creativity.”
A Note from the Director
Music Really Does It All!!
Recently I had the opportunity to teach our rising 9th grade students and families about left brain and right brain function, and how music and creativity is one of the only areas where we actually use both sides of the brain simultaneously. This process equips the maturing student to excel in not just the Arts, but in all aspects of life. Being involved in the Arts throughout your student’s career at Trinity prepares them to achieve higher levels of success, no matter what they choose to pursue upon graduation. This quote sums it up nicely: “Music educates us holistically. It educates us musically. It educates us socially. It educates us emotionally. It educates us spiritually. It educates us academically. It educates us physically. It educates us individually. It educates us collectively. Music really does it all.” Vaughan Fleischfresser

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.
