Lower School Music

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."  1 Peter 4:10

Music is an art form expressed in listening, participation, composing, performing, and is an important element in workship to God.  Music can bring enjoyment, social and cultural understanding, a relationship with God, and significantly impact worship in the church.  At HCA, our lower school music program desires to instill in each student the appreciation for the arts as well as explore and cultivate God-given talents.  From our smallest preschooler to our oldest fifth grader, our music program not only challenges students with the development of musical skills, but also provides opportunities for those skills to be used in chapels,  concerts, and special events.  Skills developed in music can be used for a lifetime of service to God.
