Orchard Kingdom is a studio dedicated to training young people in the arts and at the same time facilitating their growth in knowing Christ. With a love for the Word of God, Creative Director Brenda Edwards has devoted herself to writing music curriculum and musicals. The curriculum and musicals are based on an enchanting land called “Orchard Kingdom”. Filled with whimsical stories of faith and ad
venture in the 1500’s, animal characters learn musical facts through creative means as well as sing songs with lyrics that teach biblical
truths. The music curriculum utilizes a color coded solfège approach, along with unique games and creative manipulatives. This provides the opportunity for the imagination to soar, the mind to love learning, the body to welcome discipline and the soul to hunger for true communion with the Author of creativity Himself, Jesus Christ. Private instruction in piano, strings, guitar and voice has been the backbone of the studio. There are also monthly group classes that utilize Orchard Kingdom materials for the purpose of learning music theory while also emphasizing character development. Brenda obtained her Music Education degree in 1981 from Illinois State University and has taught piano now for over 40 years. The studio has expanded to include fine arts, fiber art instruction, and language study. The highlight of the year is week-long camps during the summer months. Desiring to nurture “Oaks of Righteousness” (Isaiah 61:3), the studio aims to inspire saplings
to flourish. The end goal:
To Serve the King of the Arts
