“The School of Performing Arts, which includes our Conservatory of Music, has provided me with more training and support than I ever could have hoped for. From vocal lessons to dance classes and instructing for acting and auditioning. Now, I’m prepared to follow my dreams and someday, you’ll be seeing me on the big screen.”
—Eden Scrafford ’24

“At Redlands, we value students as artists and as human beings. We help students form and maintain healthy relationships with their art and intellect. I teach and learn in collaboration with my students. My teaching style is conversational, focused on helping students establish and cultivate good habits for musical and scholarly growth—habits they can employ for the rest of their lives.”
