HAT Co (Hope Academy Teen Theater Company) is expanding with a new, more intensive level for 6th and 7th graders, called HAT Co Jr; and the opportunity for proficient musicians to be part of HAT Co Rock Band, without being required to take part in the theater ensemble. To apply and audition, fill out this online HAT Co Application Form. We will contact you with information about auditions. Returning students receive private voice or instrument lessons, in addition to all of the classes and ensembles. New students audition for placement.
Private Lessons
If you are interested in registering for private music instruction, please complete the online Inquiry Form for Private Lessons at Hope Academy. 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. We will contact you with options for lesson days/time and teachers – after returning students are placed.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Suzuki philosophy, approach and method please come to an information session on Saturday, Sept 3 at 1 pm. You can RSVP for the Suzuki Information Session here.
