Students and adults who already play drumset, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar or piano/keys will practice playing in a group learning the role and purpose of each instrument in the rhythm section. Dustin Loehrs, worship leader and guitar player on the Henderson Hills Worship & Arts staff, will be teaching this class beginning on April 7th. Rhythm Section Boot Camp runs for 6 weeks, meeting each Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 PM for tuition. Tuition cost is $90.00 for the 6 week term ($15.00 per class).

Tiny Tots & Praise
Tiny Tots and Praise is an interactive program for parents and their children, ages birth to five years, where both music and biblical truths are the focus. Incorporating the Musikgarten style, methods, and curriculum, this will be a time of music, movement, instruments, prayer, scripture and worship with your child! This class will encourage musical, physical, emotional, social, cognitive and most importantly, spiritual growth in your child. Research shows that this type of learning activity gives children a head start not only in music development, but in readiness for school. The curriculum is foundational and age appropriate for teaching your child both musical concepts and biblical concepts. Our desire is that this program will equip you to include even your youngest children in your family worship times. These classes are being offered in a 16-week semester this spring for tuition. Classes meet once each week for 45 minutes. Tuition for the spring semester is $160.00 ($10.00 per class) plus a $20 enrollment fee. This enrollment fee goes to pay for class materials as well as Academy maintenance costs. There are two class levels, a younger and an older, according to the child's age at the start of the semester. Each class will have 8 available spots for enrollment.
