Description
Welcome To "One Sound"!
 
I hope you are ready to have some fun making music!  This course is designed to give Students an enriching and diverse instrumental music education.  Students will be empowered to think not only as a musician, but as an artist creating an experience for all who listen.  This class provides performance opportunities in a variety of settings.  We work exceptionally hard so that we can ENJOY creating fun-filled experiences for our audiences.  Our #1 is to uplift and represent our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Collectively we produce ONE SOUND to accomplish our task of spreading God's Love!
 
Let's make some music!
