The study of music is valuable in and of itself, as music is a part of everyone’s life. Whether you are a listener, a performer or composer, music and its study can be part of a well-rounded education leading to many different career paths. Music students at TCI will gain creative problem-solving skills, individual and cooperative work habits, knowledge of themselves and others, and a sense of personal responsibility. At TCI the focus of the music classes in the early grades is on the guitar. Guitar is excellent for those students who have no prior experience playing an instrument.
The students learn performance skills, theory, and improvisation though their instruments. The music programme has a full complement of band instruments, stringed instruments, and several pianos, for those students who have prior experience and want to continue perfecting the instrument of their choice. The TCI music department hosts weekly music clubs as well as an open mic singing event during lunch on Fridays. Music students are engaged in informal as well as formal performances at the end of each semester
