Cadek Conservatory

The Bright School is a second campus of Girls Preparatory School's Cadek Conservatory of Music. The Cadek name has been synonymous with high quality music instruction in Chattanooga for more than 100 years.

The conservatory offers a wide variety of private music lessons at Bright in the afternoon and early evening. 

Registration for the fall term at Cadek opened July 10 and lessons begin August 10 and end December 18 at both the GPS and The Bright School locations. Here you can find a calendar of important dates and Cadek holidays for the 2020-21 year. Prior to registering, please take a moment to review the 2020-21 Cadek Policies that you agree to follow by registering for lessons through the Cadek program. 

This fall, we will be implementing new health and safety guidelines based on recommendations by the CDC and the TN Department of Health for the protection of both students and Cadek faculty. All students, parents, and instructors will be required to wear a face covering in the Cadek building, including in the music studios and classrooms. Within each room, as well as in waiting areas, chairs will be placed 6 feet apart, and families are asked to adhere to physical distancing guidelines while in the Cadek building.

Instructors may, at their own discretion, ask families to follow additional guidelines such as providing their own writing utensils, tuners, etc. Following each lesson, classrooms will be thoroughly cleaned, and the Cadek building, itself, will undergo a deep cleaning each evening after hours. Please note that lessons that occur at The Bright School will follow the same safety guidelines and procedures.  

These efforts, and others, are being made by us as a Cadek community because the arts are now more important than ever. They teach us how far we have come as people and provide a unique voice to those who never knew they had one. We believe that our role is to continue providing a place for music students to grow, see their progress, and be a member of a conservatory community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or concerns. We are looking forward to a wonderful music season with our new and returning families!
