Essential Music Education
Trinity Christian believes that education in the arts is imperative in maintaining a well-rounded educational foundation for students while also aiding in worldview development and service to the Lord. TCA offers a full range of band and choir classes as well as private voice and piano lessons offered at the elementary, junior high, and high school level.
Band Classes
Trinity Academy offers five band classes available during the school day at the beginners level for grades 5 – middle school, Intermediate Band, Concert Band, and Symphonic Band. Expanded opportunities include the award-winning Conquerors Marching Band and the acclaimed Trinity Symphonic Band. Students also have the opportunity to participate in solo and ensemble events and various all-state and all-district honor bands. Each year, the band embarks on a Spring trip that has allowed students to perform at famous venues in Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, Nashville, and Philadelphia.
