The importance and power of learning an instrument to maintaining brain plasticity.

"Not many people know that I play the French horn. I hadn’t played since I was child. But after I was shot, I started speech therapy, physical therapy, and music therapy. Relearning an instrument has been a huge part of my recovery, and I’m getting stronger every day."

Some pictures from the last Andrews Academy performance of the decade, the 47th Feast of Lights!

Thank you to Steven Atkins and Gregg Smith from the Herald Palladium for the pictures!

The forty-seventh annual Feast of Lights Dec. 13, 2019. It was spectacular night of music, scriptures and drama honoring the King of Kings, a retelling of the glorious Christmas story. It spoke to our hearts of His wondrous love.

A big thank you to all the students who worked diligently in making this such a beautiful program. And a big thank you to the music directors Elsy M. Gallardo-Diaz & Marcelo Martins.

May God grant you His richest blessings during this season of celebration of His Son’s birth. Merry Christmas.
