Band and Choir opportunity for Home Schoolers of all ages
Where: Spring Arbor University
When: Tuesdays
Band 3:15-4:45pm and Choir 5:10-6pm
Our program has been available to home school students since 2001. We work in conjunction with the music department at Spring Arbor University in a mutually beneficial program. The Spring Arbor University music students benefit from gaining valuable hands-on experience team teaching in a whole group setting and individual instruction. The home school students benefit by having access to group, classroom, and private music lessons.
Our student have an opportunity to perform two concerts a year at the SAU music auditorium as well as the Solo & Ensemble judged event that is offered to band and music students in our area. Other opportunities include a presentation night offered by local home schoolers.
Our Directors and the SAU education students devote a good deal of volunteer time to the program through teaching, meetings, private lessons, and performances. The music Board provides administrative and financial oversight for the program. J.A.H.E. provides spiritual and administrative accountability.
