The Centre

The Centre for Music, Worship and the Arts is a branch of the Music & Worship Ministry of Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz, Florida. Our mission is to equip students with quality, Christian instruction for the expressed purpose of exalting the Savior through their God-given talents and abilities.

Are you looking for an environment where Christ is honored and you’re challenged to develop your God-given, artistic talents for the glory and service of God? The Centre is staffed by Christian instructors who are qualified and competent in their individual areas of expertise.

The Centre for Music

The Centre for Music provides opportunities for private and/or group lessons during the day, after school, or early evening (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). While The Centre is Christ-based, types of music sung or played, as well as works performed, will not be limited to styles such as religious themes and sacred music. We do, however, strive for our Christian teachers to teach from a Christian perspective and lifestyle, which shows them to be servants of the Lord.

The Centre for Arts

The Centre for the Arts includes visual, dramatic and literary presentations, which honor the Lord. Drama is used in support of Idlewild’s ministries throughout the year. There are currently three divisions of drama: High School, Middle School, and Adult. High School and Middle School Second Generation Drama meets weekly throughout the year. For rehearsal schedules, please contact The Centre office at 813-264-8714. Students are selected from their class to participate in dramatic sketches for student worship services. Art classes are offered for beginners to advanced (young and no so young) in acrylic and watercolor on various surfaces. Tools, techniques and theories are taught through the various projects. You will come to a greater appreciation for the Creator and His creation.

Instruction

The instruction is adapted to the successful development and progress of the individual student. It will be offered in 30-minute, 45-minute, and one-hour time slots.

Schedule

Private lessons are scheduled daily Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during the school year. They begin no earlier than 9:00 a.m. and conclude no later than 9:00 p.m. Students are assigned to the instructors based on: 1) the date of paid registration; 2) whether or not the student is a returning student; 3) the student’s preference of time, availability of instructors, education and experience of the instructors, and areas of interest.
