Instruments & Vocals

Students interested in vocals or playing a musical instrument will find opportunities to learn and build experience at GCS.

Private Instrument & Vocal Lessons

Weekly Lessons

Students as young as Pre-K (age 4) can enroll in private instrument and vocal lessons at GCS. Methods are tailored to the student’s age, as well as current knowledge and understanding of the instrument from a highly-skilled and qualified instructor. If you are undecided, we recommend starting with piano as it provides the ideal foundation of experience for reading music and playing other instruments.

Private lessons are offered weekly during the school year, on an annual contract and first-come-first-serve basis. Lessons can be scheduled during, before or after school, and are 30 minutes long. GCS hosts a music recital each Spring where students enrolled in instrument lessons may perform one or more selections of their choice. Current offerings are:

• Vocal (K-12th)
• Piano (Pre-K4-12th)
• Flute (1st-12th)
• Guitar (3rd-12th)
• Bass (3rd-12th)

Summer Music Lessons

Grace has these same offerings during the summer with instruction from highly skilled and qualified instructors. Grade levels are based on the student’s rising grade. With a total of six (6) lessons, each 30-minute lesson focuses on the fundamentals of music theory with an individual instrumental teaching approach. Students are also taught the value and importance of performance etiquette. (Note, there are no lessons during the week of 4th of July.)

Registration for Summer Music Lessons opens in the Spring.

Performance Opportunities

Middle and High School students have the opportunity to employ their instrumental talents on the GCS Student Worship Team. Students not only get to further develop their skills, but lead their peers in worship during chapel.
