Fanfare! Lutheran Music Academy

 Founded in 2007 as a ministry of First Lutheran Church in Galveston, Fanfare! Lutheran Music Academy is committed to nurturing creativity and confidence in children through the arts. We offer affordable, age-appropriate classes in music, art, dance, and theatre for children ages 2 to 18. While not all classes are available for every age group, our programs are thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are developmentally. Whether your child wants to take just one class or explore several, Fanfare! provides a welcoming, faith-rooted environment to grow and express their gifts. Scholarships are available on a limited, need-based basis to help ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate.
