What our students say about the Music program

“What I’ve loved about the music program at SAU is all of the ensembles I’ve been a part of. The ensembles and my personal lessons have allowed me to grow so much as a musician, to recognize where my strengths are and what I need to work on. It’s been amazing to see how God has gifted other people as well in different ways and seeing them pursue their music passions.”
