Music Education

Developing Skills for Worship & Service

Music is a gift that reveals and reflects the beauty and glory of God. The music department at Paradise Adventist Academy offers band and choir to develop our students’ musical abilities so they can use this gift to honor God and serve others.

Our curriculum follows the National Standards of Music and exposes students to a wide repertoire of music — from classical to modern, secular to sacred. Students learn the value of music and the skills to create it.
