Education at First Baptist Church of Chattanooga
  • School of Fine Arts
     
    Since 1997, the School of Fine Arts at First Baptist Church has provided quality musical and arts instruction through private lessons and classroom formats. The School of Fine Arts is made up of a professional, dedicated faculty who teach in a nurturing, supportive and wholesome environment for optimal learning and enjoyment. Students of all ages are welcome.
     
    If you have always wanted to play an instrument for your own enjoyment or wanted your child, or a child in your care, to learn to enjoy and play music, or just to have fun in a group setting, we can make that dream come true for you. If your dream is to go into music as a career or to perform in competitions, we can help you make that dream come true, too. We can also help if your desire is to enjoy the creative arts with others of similar interests.
     
  • Kindermusik®
     
    Welcome to Kindermusik® at First Baptist Church School of Fine Arts! We invite you to participate in the world’s leading program of music and movement for children from birth to seven years old. Dedicated to the development of the whole child, the curriculum is gently structured and focuses on activities that promote growth in cognitive, physical, social, emotional and language development. This valuable learning experience is designed to last a lifetime.  
     
    Founded in Germany during the 1960s, a group of music educators collaborated to create a program for children to experience music in a joyful environment prior to instruction in a formal setting. The program was translated and adapted for American families in the 1970s. Kindermusik was revised in the 1980s to be inclusive of a more culturally diverse audience. Under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Crutchfield, our School of Fine Arts became affiliated and individual instructors licensed to offer Kindermusik in 1997.
