Fine Arts at Tri-City Christian Academy

TCA is small enough to be a family, but big enough to offer extracurricular activities to stretch each student, wherever their talents lie.

Tri-City Christian Academy believes extracurricular activities play an integral part in a student's education. Drama, band, choir, and intra-scholastic athletics are just some of the activities that TCA offers.

At TCA you will find:

• Vocal training beginning in K4
• Recorder training for 4th graders
• A 5th-6th grade Elementary Band
• Junior High and High School Bands
• A High School Choir and Chorale
• Private lessons for band instruments, strings and piano
• A Summer Band Camp for 5th-12th graders
• A speech and drama program

Band

The TCA High School Band participates in state and regional festivals, as well as performing at the Arizona State Fair, Chandler City Festival of Lights and various other venues throughout the community. The band focuses on faithful, diligent practice which results in the development of each individual member's technique and musicianship, as well of the ensemble as a whole. The TCA band program produces young musicians who are well-equipped to represent our school and serve our Lord.

The TCA band program begins in fourth grade, when Susie Yuen teaches all the students to play recorder. This provides a foundation for note reading, proper sound production, and musicality, preparing the students for involvement in band. All students are encouraged to choose an instrument and join the 5th grade band.

Choir

The TCA choral program is team-taught by Theresa Trogen and Dave Stertzbach. The graded choral curriculum moves singers through the early elementary years of finding the singing voice through the performance of standard choral repertoire in late high school. The choirs emphasize healthy vocal production, music literacy and the spiritual nature of singing. Mrs. Trogen and Pastor Stertzbach have been teaching students of all ages for a combined total of over 30 years.

The TCA High School Choir consistently ranks Superior One in state and regional festivals, as well as performing at the Arizona State Fair, Chandler City Festival of Lights and various other venues throughout the community. Through its emphasis on thorough education, quality performance and spiritual application, the TCA choir program is a first-rate ambassador for our school and our Lord.
