Sam Skinner-Noble is a senior at Harding Fine Arts Academy, an arts-integrated charter school located in the heart of Oklahoma City. Sam is a member of the Student Council and National Honor Society. In his free time, you can find him volunteering for El Sistema Oklahoma and working to become an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts. He is also highly involved in band and jazz band where he plays saxophone and clarinet. He first learned to read music and play while in middle school.
“My favorite artistic discipline is definitely instrumental music.” said Sam. “It’s something I started when I was young, and I really grew to enjoy it because it challenges me.” Sam’s music is inspired by many people, but specifically his parents, former music teachers and Fleetwood Mac.
He originally chose to attend Harding for its award-winning photography program, but soon discovered his true passion is music. As graduation quickly approaches, Sam has decided to follow in the footsteps of the numerous teachers who inspired him. He plans to study music education in college and eventually become a middle or high school band director.
Harding Fine Arts Academy is proud of Sam’s successes so far, and we look forward to all of the amazing things we know he will accomplish. We pride ourselves on educating the whole-child and providing a welcoming, challenging, and inclusive higher learning environment.
Harding Fine Arts Academy is the place where creators come to thrive.
