Music Department
Where Music meetsMission
The Music Department at Ozark Adventist Academy offers students a rich and rewarding opportunity to grow musically and spiritually through performance and worship. As a small private Christian school, we provide a supportive environment where students can develop their talents to honor God. Our music program includes a large choir which is open to all students, a select concert choir that requires an audition, and an active orchestra. Each ensemble is dedicated to excellence in music and ministry, performing at school events, churches, and community programs throughout the year. Led by Thomas Chapman, the department cultivates both musical excellence and a heart for service, empowering students to use their gifts in meaningful ways within their churches and communities.
Reformation Tour
During the spring semester of 2024, choir students from Ozark Adventist Academy embarked on a trip that took them through Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the Vatican, and the Czech Republic, immersing them in the rich history of the Protestant Reformation. Each destination offered unique insights into the pivotal events and figures of the Reformation.
"Going on Reformation Tour was one of the greatest experiences of my life."

Orchestra
Students who play musical instruments have the opportunity to develop their talents through participation in our orchestral programs. Musicians can choose to join our full orchestra or be part of our more intimate string ensemble, with the option to participate in either or both groups based on their interests and abilities.
Select Choir
Select choir, also known as Bella Voca, is an auditioned group made up of dedicated and talented student vocalists. This ensemble performs more advanced repertoire and represents the school at churches and special events. It provides students with the opportunity to refine their skills and minister through meaningful, Christ-centered music.
Choir
Ozark Adventist Academy's choir is open to all OAA students. During the 2024-2025 school year, more than 50 students participated, making it one of the largest student groups on campus. The choir performs a variety of sacred and seasonal music on campus, in area churches, and at community events.
