More About Instrumental House

6th – 12th grade

House Theatre offers a comprehensive instrumental program for Lowcountry homeschoolers.

House is a ministry-focused, non-profit organization that offers performing arts education to homeschool students. Through House, homeschoolers not only get to perform a showcase but are also given opportunities to perform publicly around the Lowcountry.

The goal of Instrumental House is to provide students with an instrumental education where the Lord is honored, and where the music and performances are clean, wholesome, and excellent. It is a place where students can learn quality repertoire and advanced techniques alongside their peers; improve their God-given abilities; and bond with other students over a shared love for the arts. We don’t just prepare the students for performances, students will their technical skills and musical proficiencies while, most importantly, sharing the Lord’s love with these students.
