BAND

“Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”
// Psalm 150:3-6
At LCA, we believe a strong Band program is truly glorifying to God. Research shows that learning music enhances skills that we all use, including language development, mental math, recognizing patterns, and use of critical thinking and problem solving. Through the study of music, students develop self-discipline, confidence, commitment, responsibility, good decision-making, and a general sense of personal pride.
