Through the dynamic power of music, the Garden Route Academy of Fine Arts seeks to engage each diverse community in Knysna, using each connection with students and parents as an opportunity to show the love of Christ. This is accomplished via three methods:

  • Partnering with Local Schools: we provide arts training and performing opportunities through choirs, orchestras, musicals, and plays. 
  • Private Lessons: we provide Knysna community members with personalized and group lessons in voice, piano, guitar and brass instruments.
  • Community Music Outreach: we teach a general music and bible class in the Hornlee community on Sunday afternoons.
