Hope Academy’s fall term classes and private lessons begin on September 14. Registration is now open so download the Hope Academy Course Brochure 2015-16, fill out the registration form and return it with your payment, apply for a SCHOLARSHIP or to AUDITION for HAT Co (Hope Academy Teen Theater Company), or HAT Co Rock Band. On-site registrations take place at East Liberty Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, Sept 1 and Friday, September 4 from 6 to 8 pm.
If you are interested in registering for private music instruction, please complete the online Inquiry Form. This will help us to have a more informed conversation with you, and will expedite the process of matching your child with a teacher and finding a lesson day/time that will fit into your schedule. You may also come to a “Meet the Music Teachers Open House” on Saturday, September 5 from 2 to 4 pm.
NEW for 2015-2016: an expansion of our Tap Dance program (two additional levels); Songwriting for Teens; Beginning Ukulele Class for Teens; a 3rd year level for our Suzuki Violin Program; and a NEW Music Discovery class for five and six year olds, in partnership with the Pittsburgh School for the Choral Arts.
A more intensive level of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (PBT) dance at Hope Academy is being offered to prepare select dancers for PBT scholarship auditions in the spring; last year 5 of the 20 recipients were from Hope Academy. This Bridge Ballet 1 class is geared to more committed and focused young dancers, from 5 to 8 years old. There will be a placement session on Saturday, September 5 at 12 noon, for anyone interested in this class.
Finally, there is a new online application process for scholarships and HAT Co. You can fill in these forms online and submit them electronically.
