As an offshoot of Instruments of Praise (IOP), a non-profit music organization with a 32-year history of training
and impacting the lives of young artists, ASAIL is well poised for music instruction with a whole-life approach for
high school students who are college bound. https://www.instrumentsofpraise.com/

ASAIL began with seven high school music students from IOP who were beginning to envision higher education
for their future. The goal of each session was not only to continue honing their music skills, but also to provide
each student with tools to successfully navigate the college journey and experience by:

1) Expanding the student’s capacity to build on their existing foundation while engaging in conversations that

challenged them to see themselves and their options more clearly, creating a strategy for themselves –beyond academics and talent.

2) Providing guest speakers and materials with topics that are key components for helping to minimize pre-college anxieties, and increase wisdom and discernment to make best choices

3) Creating a safe place and intimate setting for candid conversations, accountability, and connection to assist in developing competence for the who, what, when, where, and how of their journey ahead.
