Our Mission

A.S.A.I.L. provides musically talented high school and junior college students with the tools and preparation to thrive in music-
related college programs. Through a series of strategic training sessions, students will learn how to maximize
their learning capacity, make informed decisions, and will gain inspiration from up-and-coming young artists that
have recently graduated with a music degree. Students will expand their understanding of the significance of
continued education, its importance, and discover how to use the power of learning for their benefit.

"I'm very thankful for all the experiences I had and knowledge I gained in class. ASAIL helped me find some guidance at a time where I was feeling lost in life. And I'm very grateful for all the time Kyle spent working with me helping improve my singing and giving me advice."

HISTORY

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.

Adding to the ASAIL history and setting sail post pandemic, students can anticipate a rigorous music curriculum
based on 1) knowledge, 2) drill, and 3) application. Classes are conducted by an intentional community of
instructors who provide a comprehensive, yet innovative music program with a curriculum that encompasses
collaborative creativity coupled with skill development.


The summer intensive program will also include several Image and Life Skills workshops, while the school-year
program participants will engage in all workshops.
