CCS Music Conservatory
Launched on August 26, 2013, the Conestoga Christian School Music Conservatory ushered in an exciting new era of music education at our school. As our students learn new musical skills from our experienced teachers, we believe CCS will reap the benefits for years to come!
The Conestoga Christian School Music Conservatory, in harmony with the home and church, provides a quality private lesson program for all students in an environment which nurtures Christ-like character and equips them to enjoy a life of using their musical talents for God's glory.
The highlight of the "Conservatory Year" are the Annual Recitals. This school year, students playing band and string instrumentalists will hold their recital in February whereas piano, guitar and vocal students will have their recital in April.
