Meet Our Music Coordinator

Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:19-20). 

Music is a gift from God and a means to share the beautiful message that Jesus is our Savior through song. 

At Eastside Lutheran School, all students are instructed in music as an element of our curriculum.  Students develop their musical skills for worship, engage in playing a variety of instruments, encounter diverse musical styles and historical eras, and acquire skills in music theory.

I’m excited to share the many opportunities our students have to grow and strengthen their God-given gifts as they glorify the Lord through music!

— Mandy Treder, Music Coordinator

Music That Glorifies God

Music is an important part of worship at Eastside. Students have opportunities to share their gifts through singing and playing instruments during church services, our annual Christmas service, and other special events in our Madison community. These experiences help students see how their musical gifts can be used to praise God and serve others.
