The Crescendo School of Music and Dance — a ministry of The Salvation Army Torrance Corps — is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of artists. We empower students to shine through the performing arts, cultivating confidence, connection, and joy in every note and every step. In a safe, inclusive, and uplifting environment, we seek to honor each student’s God-given gifts and help them grow in talent, character, and heart.
Our vision is to be a vibrant community where every student discovers their unique ‘voice’ through inspiring music lessons and dynamic dance classes —growing not only in skill, but also in spirit, purpose, and a deeper appreciation of the gifts God has entrusted to them.
Music education provides students with much more than simply music appreciation: it helps their brain and language development, memorization, coordination, imagination, and discipline -- in short it helps them be better students! Many local public schools have cut music programs due to budget pressures, leaving a potential for a significant gap in the education curriculum.
LESSON RATES & GENERAL INFORMATION
Dance education provides students with much more than simply learning steps and routines. It supports physical development, coordination, balance, creativity, confidence, focus, memorization, discipline, and teamwork—all skills that can help students succeed both in and out of the classroom.
Dance also gives young people an important opportunity to express themselves, build self-confidence, stay active, and develop a sense of accomplishment and belonging. With many schools offering limited access to dance and performing arts programs, quality dance education can help fill an important gap, giving students a creative outlet while developing skills that can benefit them for a lifetime.
We offer a variety of musical instrument training for charter school students. Every student receives a free trial lesson!

"Julie and Gary have been very supportive and every interaction with both of them has been very joyful. My daughter Twara learns from James and Shalini. Their enthusiasm is contagious!! My daughter really loves learning from both of them. She enjoys the classes so much that she hates missing it for any reason at all."
"My son is taking guitar classes in this school for two years. He is very happy with his teacher. His teacher is so friendly and fun loving that my son looks forward to going to the class. I feel my son is best hands to learn the music."
