Made in the image of the Creator of the Universe, we are so thankful for the bounty of gifts and creative talents He has lovingly given each of us, and for the fellowship in which to share and grow
in our abilities.

We offer our best in all we do, because as we aim for EXCELLENCE, we are acquiring wisdom and becoming better stewards of the gifts that we've been given.  Because we are endeavoring to be our OUR BEST (not THE best), we are also growing in humility.

Welcome to our website.  Here you will get a glimpse of who we are and what we do.  We invite you to visit us at the studio.  We would love to meet you in person!

Today's Arts Education thought is:

from the first book of Peter:

"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." (1 Peter 4:10, OSB)

Our gifts of music and dance and artistic expression are truly gifts, and we receive them with thankfulness, knowing that they have been given to us to be used for the glory of God and in a spirit of love.  We use our gifts not for our own glory or fame, but to serve those around us, and to magnify the Lord.

This attitude should be evident in the way we train and in the way we share our learning.
Our Introduction to Violin classes have been a big hit! In a small class setting, students are offered the opportunity to try out this beautiful and expressive instrument, learning correct technique, learning to read music and also learning the rudiments of improvisation.  With a rented violin, and without the expense and pressure of private lessons, this is definitely the way to "try out" the violin and see if it is the instrument for you!  Students who are interested, are then prepared to move on to the investment of private instruction.  And all students leave the class with a love for the instrument and the ability to have great fun playing beautiful music at home!
