nurture a live of elevated music, increased faith, and patriotism through purposeful events and media Instruct - develop self-discipline, skills, and character through transformational teaching and professional-level experience and interaction And Impact (Result of Inspiring and Instructing) - awaken individuals, families, and communities to the power music has to change hearts and minds while fulfilling divine potential Stephen Sharp nelson of The Piano Guys said, “The Lyceum Orchestras Program is an incomparable combination of everything that music is meant to be - joy, refinement, belonging, and fun It offers kids the kind of opportunities that make music exciting and cool It provides an environment that isn’t blindly affixed upon purposeless perfection, but rather a more selfless pursuit of excellence My favorite part of Lyceum is its inherent spirituality There is a special feeling suggesting a profound development, not only of the body and mind, but of the soul.” Graduating Seniors Alexander Goslin -
