Welcome to Midland Academy's Music Department! We are prepared for a fun and exciting school year with plenty of opportunities for students to learn and perform.
At Midland Adventist Academy we instruct and prepare students to be contributing musicians in society. This includes preparing them in singing and playing skills, learning how to critique performances, and making wise listening choices. Students who go through the MAA music curriculum receive an education that is comparable to any school in the nation in terms of National Standards. If you wish to view these National Standards please visit the NAfME website.
MAA's music director is Mr. Hutchison who received his BMU from Union College in Lincoln, NE and his MME from the University of Kansas. If you would like to learn more about him please visit About Mr. Hutchison.
Feel free to browse through this site as you learn and discover what Midland's music program is all about.
Students, check out the Current Pieces page to find links to the songs that we are learning, and the Assignments page to check on the due dates of current assignments.
Parents and students will be interested to find our Calendar of Performances available here as well.

I'm sure you've heard about, if not seen, our new creative lab in the music department. I'm excited to say that it is now up and running! Students have been creating music, and today we used the creative lab to record and produce Midland's debut single.
This song features singers from grades K-5. The first verse is a quartet of 3-5 graders who were chosen as a featured small group. The chorus and 2nd verse feature the K-2nd choir and the 3-5th choir combined.
We're glad to be able to share with you some of the joy our students share with us everyday at Midland.

Mr. Hutchison is proud to present this year's edition of Diversity, our select choir:
