MISSION
Harmony School’s community-wide choral program encourages vocal development by regular training in age-level choruses and performing quality literature, including sacred, classical, folk, patriotic, and some Broadway numbers.
VISION
The choral program at HSCA is an advanced and accelerated music education for singers of all ages who audition successfully for each ensemble level. The program is intended to augment a student’s musical experiences in school; all students are encouraged to remain active in their school’s music program. When possible, they are expected to assist their school music teacher as concepts are mastered.

This is a community-wide choral program, beginning with elementary age participants and building from there. Each semester culminates in 1-2 performances of a diverse repertoire, including sacred, patriotic, classical, folk, and some Broadway numbers.
Students at the elementary level are admitted by audition and interview, with more emphasis placed on an eagerness to learn in a disciplined setting than apparent natural ability.
The primary goal for the first elementary chorus is to learn to use their voices as a musical instrument. Children learn proper posture, breathing, and singing in the head register as a foundation for further study.
Skills to be developed as the program grows include musical concepts dealing with rhythm, melody, harmony, vocal technique, diction, music notation, score reading, sight-singing using solfege, ear training, and performance etiquette.

Harmony School is proud to be home to the only string orchestra in the Highland Lakes Area. Our goal is to enrich the community through the gift of classical music.
String teacher and orchestra director Keenan Fletcher organized Harmony School’s first string ensemble in the summer of 2006. Currently, the string orchestras are made up of enrolled students augmented by adult players. Younger students participate in the Suzuki Early Education program, while others are placed in the Beginning to Advanced Orchestras. Concerts are usually planned for Christmas, spring/summer.
Chamber Ensemble is also a part of the student experience, once a certain level of proficiency is reached. For 2007-2008, this program has been made possible through the generosity of Amateur Chamber Music Players and the Clinton B. Ford Fund of its ACMP Foundation, an organization that promotes chamber music activities for amateur musicians. These groups also perform for the public each semester.
As the orchestra grows in size and ability, other instruments and chorus will be added to provide yet another learning experience.
Taught by a certified Suzuki Teacher, students will learn all aspects of a "talent education" created by Dr. Suzuki. Parental involvement is necessary. This program is being reformatted, under our newest teacher, Dr. Amy Harris. Check back soon for more information.
The Highland Lakes Community Orchestra is sponsored by Harmony School of Creative Arts. The Orchestra offers two concerts a year, a Christmas Concert and a Spring Concert. The Orchestra performs a variety of music while experiencing the joy of playing in an ensemble.
Harmony School's String program offers private lessons in Violin, Viola, and Cello. Students will study all styles of music including Folk, Irish, Texas Fiddling, and Classical. If you are a prospective student looking to enroll in private lessons with Keenan Fletcher, you must place your name on a waiting list by contacting the School Office. As openings arise, students will be notified.

OUTREACH PROGRAM |
Created through a generous grant from the Legacy Fund, and in partnership through Camp Phoenix and the Boys and Girls Club, the Outreach Program is designed to reach children of low income families. Children are provided with violins. Lessons are taught at Camp Phoenix in Marble Falls. Older student assistants aid Ms. Fletcher each afternoon during the school year.
