Music
Dynamic Vocal and Instrumental Programs
The Tennessee Governor’s School for the Arts provides educational instruction for students skilled in strings, wind ensemble, piano, and as of 2010, classical guitar. We also recognize and cultivate some of the most outstanding young voices in the state of Tennessee. Our curriculum offers study in both choral and opera technique.
Filmmaking
Directing Tennessee’s Future Filmmakers
Filmmaking students are introduced to both the theory and technical aspects of filmmaking. Through lectures, films and hand-on experiences, students will learn the three aspects of filmmaking: pre-production, production, and post-production. Students will be taught all aspects of camera, lighting and grip equipment, sound equipment and editing software.
Theatre
Exclusive Technical & Performance Instruction
Our philosophy is simple — to supply an opportunity for the student to learn. We do this by providing a program of dedicated and focused study in all areas of theatrical studies, with an emphasis on the process of creating live theatre. Students are given opportunities to explore, to question, and to grow.
Visual Art
Cultivating Tennessee’s Young Visual Artists
The Tennessee Governor’s School for the Arts visual art program seeks to provide an understanding of the ways mankind has expressed ideas and recorded experiences through the medium of visual art, and to facilitate the development of technical skills in the production of a work of art. Our students become acquainted with career opportunities in visual art, to prepare them to be the artists of tomorrow.
