Our Mission:
To train the next generation of musicians for the church,
the community,
and the world,
for the glory
of God.
Our Story
Since 2002 Saint Andrew’s Conservatory of Music has been a unique training program for musicians of all ages. Serving the wider Central Florida community, we offer private lessons, a Summer Music Academy, Concerts including Faculty Showcases, and cooperative programs with Saint Andrew’s Chapel including guest artist appearances, master classes, and more.
Our Facilities
Students have access to two pipe organs, four grand pianos, harpsichord, studio and practice spaces, and one of Central Florida’s premier concert venues. This is truly a place where tomorrow’s musicians receive extraordinary opportunities.
Lessons
If music is, as Martin Luther says, a gift from God–then we are obliged to develop that gift. Saint Andrew’s Conservatory of Music offers year-round private instruction for piano, organ, harpsichord, violin, cello, harp, trumpet, flute, and voice. This is a performing arts community that balances weekly lessons with seasonal concerts and recitals. Some faculty require a student audition before registering, but there is no age restriction.
Instructors
Saint Andrew’s is a community of faith, with one difference–we love the arts. Our faculty are Christians, active in local churches. We feature our faculty in showcase concerts. They are performing musicians who have advanced training, with 90% holding Master of Music degrees from music schools around the world. Clearly this is one of “Florida’s best kept secrets” – a distinguished faculty and wonderful performance opportunities.
Conservatory Scholarship Fund
Scholarship support is available to outstanding students. Scholarships are awarded to students whose work has been consistently of high quality in a given semester, renewable based on student discipline. Your tax-deductible gifts to the Conservatory Scholarship Fund may be made online or in-person. Help us to train the next generation of musicians. Your contribution of any amount is your statement of support for the Conservatory’s mission in Central Florida.
Summer Music Academy
Summer Music Academy is a unique opportunity to combine fun with musical exploration.
K-5 students get to experience live performance on a variety of instruments. More advanced students in MS/HS participate in ensembles, private lessons and master classes, faculty micro-recitals, exploration of composers and historical style and more. To the delight of parents and friends, each Academy student performs in a final concert at the end of the week.
Summer Music Academy Students have opportunities to try new instruments, to participate in music ensembles, and to refine their musical skills.
Students are mentored and taught by caring instructors who are exceptional teachers and performers on various instruments.
Young students learn about music in a fun environment where God is honored and glorified.
Message From the Dean
Welcome to the Saint Andrew’s Conservatory of Music!
Saint Andrew’s Chapel has always placed a special emphasis on excellent music in the worship of God. We believe that we are called to make skillful music to the Lord and also to train up excellent musicians. Psalm 33:2-3 tells us to, “Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully on the strings…” This calling to excellence drives us as we work toward fulfilling our purpose, “To train the next generation of musicians for the church, the community, and the world, for the glory of God.”
Our exceptional instructors engage each student with a developmentally appropriate applied music education in a nurturing, Christ-centered context. Our Summer Music Academy provides fantastic ensemble and masterclasses opportunities that challenge and inspire students at all levels of musical development.
We trust that the Lord will use the training provided here to enrich and mature the musicians in your family.
Sincerely,
Todd Alexander,
Dean of Conservatory
