Mission

Stage Performance

The Preparatory & Continuing Studies Department is predicated on the belief that the study and appreciation of music enhances intelligent thinking, provides musical understanding, and contributes to a lifetime activity of music making. Moreover, music study increases the quality of life and nourishes the human spirit. Our goal is to make music available and affordable to all individuals regardless of age, race, ethnic origin, or financial means. Our purpose is fourfold:

  1. to serve as a complement to public and private school programs by providing a variety of music instruction at all levels;
  2. to serve as a resource for music educators, church musicians, and performers
  3. to serve as a resource for adults with amateur interests in music; and
  4. to serve as a training school for exceptionally gifted pre-collegiate musicians.
