Strings and Music
Kantor Dr. Steven Hoffman
- Kantor
Kantor Hoffman teaches Kindergarten through Eleventh Grade Music. He directs the School Choir (Schola Cantorum) as well. Kantor directs the upper-level Instrumental Ensemble. Kantor also composes and arranges music for our choirs and Instrumental Ensembles. Kantor Hoffman serves as organist for the daily school Matins services in the Church. Among his greatest joys is teaching our students to sing and make music. The music-making at Trinity Lutheran School is founded upon our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the salvation He won for us upon the cross and in His triumphant resurrection. God gave us the gift of music to confess our Lord Christ to the world. May God in Christ Jesus bless our singing and music making to the great glory of His Most Holy Name.
Trinity Lutheran School is very blessed to have Kantor Hoffman offer his time and talent in giving private piano lessons during and outside of the school day to several of our students. Please ask us about such opportunities for your child(ren).
