School of Fine Arts
The School of Fine Arts (SOFA) offers instruction from gifted, passionate and experienced Christian teachers. Our goal is to provide excellent and personalized music, theory and fine arts lessons, allowing students to grow their unique gifts.
SOFA provides:
- training in a variety of art forms reflecting high standards of artistic excellence;
- a Christian perspective on the role and functional usage of the art form in the life of the student;
- opportunities for the student to use his or her skills in local ministry.
The School of Fine Arts offers in-person private music lessons September to June at Linden Christian School. We offer piano, piano/voice combo, voice, violin, viola, cello, guitar (bass, electric, acoustic, banjo) and drum lessons. SOFA also offers groups lessons in Introduction to Musical Theatre and Art classes.
SOFA instruction is available to anyone, not just current LCS students.
Remote private lessons are offered at any time throughout the year, including summer.
Lessons at LCS missed due to illness which qualify for make ups may be taught remotely.
Once registered, your SOFA teacher will contact you with a schedule prior to the first lesson. If you would like to register for lessons, contact [email protected] and registration forms will be sent via email.

Under the guidance of qualified Christian instructors, students receive private lessons that allow them to develop their musical skills, and to use those skills in a variety of ministry settings. Lessons are customized to meet each student’s individual needs.
Private music lessons are typically held once a week and are offered throughout the school day, before school, after school, and in the evening. Lessons are usually 30 minutes, but longer lessons can be arranged to meet grade or level requirements.
