Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
CDA Parent
Through CDA’s Fine Arts programs, our children developed confidence to perform and speak in front of large audiences, think outside the box, and be accountable to others. By mastering an instrument, they learned perseverance while making music that glorifies God. our kids learn to take responsible risks when approaching a competition and accept and appreciate constructive criticism. We are grateful for CDA’s extraordinary Fine Arts teachers.

Symphonic Band TPSMEA Concert
Last Thursday, members of the CDA Collin County Symphonic Band attended the annual TPSMEA Concert and Sight Reading Contest at Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas. The students performed 3 selections they'd been working on all semester, and afterwards they were given a brand new piece of music they had never before seen to sight read in front of the judges. The band performed amazingly both on stage and in sight reading and was awarded first division ratings from all three judges across the board for everything they played! This is the second year strong now in the CDA CC Band's history to earn Sweepstakes, or straight 1's, at this contest. Bravo on your hard work this year, band!
