Special Statement

The 2021 Texas Normal Singing School and COVID-19
(read this for our full statement)

Yes, the Board of Directors has considered the possibility of canceling the Singing School for this year due to COVID-19, but ultimately has decided to go ahead and conduct the program. Because of worldwide upheavals and concerns, there will be many things different this year (including classrooms, lodging, and dining), but we also aim to give our students a great experience in worship and learning together.

We will be complying with national, state, and local guidance as we move forward, while also reminding our students, faculty, and staff that each one is responsible for preserving his own health. Presently, Texas is in Phase III of reopening. If either the State of Texas or Taylor County (Abilene) regress to any more restrictive stages, the Singing School will be canceled.

This means that many pages on our website do not show a 100% accurate picture of the 2021 Texas Normal Singing School. You must read this page for our full expectations of 2021.

Welcome to

The Texas Normal Singing School

ShapeNoteLine-01

At The Singing School, our goal is to train men and women to excel in the public worship and assemblies of the church. We believe that everyone has a part to sing! We specialize in a cappella, congregational singing.

We offer training in three major areas of church music:

Song Leading, Song Writing, and Singing with Excellence.
