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 in the state level OMEA adjudications and competitions, and other performances throughout the state.
In 2006 TSA Music students were on fire. 24 students were given "Superior" or "Excellent" ratings in the OMEA adjudications, and the TSA Studio Orchestra earned unanimous "Superior" ratings for the third straight year. TSA also dominated at the 2006 "Music In The Parks" Festival at Cedar Point, sweeping all top awards! TSA is also anticipating more success for our musicians when they compete at the national level 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.
