Hands-on ministry and performance opportunities are built into each program to provide you with practical experience and to develop your skills. Meanwhile, experienced faculty provide specialized instruction for your area of specialization.
You will learn music theory, conducting, arranging and composing skills; leadership skills for a variety of music careers; and build upon your God-given talents.
Participate in departmental ensembles, including Band, Jazz Band, Choir, Chorale, Piano Ensemble, Ransomed, Furious Love, Harvesters, Chapel Worship and Handbells. Experience public performances through recitals, chapel services and special music ministry.
One of the outstanding components of the program is the music internship designed to sharpen your skills and interests.
