Instrumental Music
The lessons and qualities derived from developing musicianship — the self-discipline needed for excellence, the empathy required of music making and the openness and inquisitiveness essential to creativity—are critical to achievement in any pursuit, musical or otherwise, and that music is a powerful catalyst for personal growth, which is central to any educational experience.
Teaching students how to play and make music is the driving force for the Briarcrest Christian School Instrumental Music Department.
Our goal is to inspire, teach, and develop students to excel in music and to prepare them for future success in college and beyond. Developing the musicianship of the individual student is the foundation of our curriculum.
