TSA Music Department

TSA Music students thrive in an accomplished music program that is diverse and highly competitive in the state of Ohio. The talents, skills, discipline, and confidence of TSA music students drives them towards repeated success. They have have enjoyed repeated success in the state level OMEA adjudications and competitions, the annual "Music In The Parks" Festival at Cedar Point, and they had a strong performance at a national competition held in Virginia Beach, Virginia in May 2007.

The TSA Music Department offers a wide range of musical training and experiences. Each individual program encourages musical exploration that spans cultures, covers both traditional and modern music, encourages experimentation and practice with multiple instruments, and allows students to develop skills in music composition. A dedicated faculty, ample musical resources, community support, and a strong record of achievement nurture the ongoing success of this dynamic department at TSA.
