Welcome to Instruments of Praise.org!

Instruments of Praise has been serving home school families in the Greater Houston area since 1995. Directed by Paul Sommer, these bands and orchestras are known for their excellence in performance and are given a number of opportunities to minister each year.

BEGINNER BAND and BEGINNER PIANO/KEYBOARD CLASS (no experience necessary) INTERMEDIATE BAND and INTERMEDIATE STRING ORCHESTRA (for students who have played for at least one year) ADVANCED BAND (placement in this band will be determined by Mr. Sommer) ADVANCED STRING ORCHESTRA (by audition only) HONOR FULL ORCHESTRA (by audition only)

The classes are held once a week at SEVEN CONVENIENT locations throughout the Greater Houston area. The locations: Atascocita, Clear Lake, Conroe, Copperfield, Spring, Sugarland, and Tomball/Magnolia. The ultimate goal of Instruments of Praise is to develop and prepare each student to minister to the Lord and others on their musical instrument. Learning to play an instrument is a new adventure for students. It is an enriching experience for all children. It is our sincere desire to do all we can to make this a gratifying and worthwhile experience. The student playing an instrument learns discipline, cooperation with others, and a new way to a fuller, richer life.
