About

Shepherd’s Music School is an educational wing of the music ministry of The Shepherd’s Church (previously Colonial Baptist Church) located at 6051 Tryon Road in Cary, NC. Established in 2001, The Shepherd’s Music School (SMS) exists to raise up a generation of musicians who are “trained and skilled in music for the LORD.” (1 Chronicles 25:7, NIV)

All of our instructors are qualified musicians and gifted teachers who use various methods and musical styles to encourage the enjoyment of making music and prepare students for live performances.

The school provides instruction in piano, guitar, vocals, percussion, strings, woodwinds, and brass to students of all levels, from beginner to advanced, for an affordable price. Music theory and technique are included in each lesson and music is selected according to the ability and interests of the individual. Students are challenged to improve their musicianship in an encouraging environment that enables them to be active participants in any musical venue.

Performances are encouraged and opportunities are provided in a variety of settings, such as recitals, “Music in the Cafe’” (an open mic venue), and mini-concerts in local retirement centers throughout the year.
