Others may volunteer ideas and approaches that they’ve seen elsewhere, but at the Singing School, you’ll see with your own eyes – and participate with your own voice – in an assembly where all the participants are united with one mind, one heart, and one voice with effective leadership.

The Bible gives explicit mention of how the assembly can convict the heart of the unbeliever, causing him to find God in the midst of His people. Healthy discussion is given on how to balance the assembly’s dual roles of edifying the church and sharing the gospel with our guests.

Being a church leader is not about doing everything there is to do or knowing everything that there is to know, but it is about equipping the saints for works of ministry.

Attending Singing School in the 70’s was one of the best things that have ever happen to me. The teachers, I will never forget as long as I live. Even today, I remember who taught me music theory, voice, harmony and song writing and the evening singings. Singing down by the river was great. May our Father in Heaven bless all the teachers today and made He also bless the students to learn to lead their congregations to praise God. Today, songs have changed. Some are 7-11 songs and others, the older ones, have a meaning through the words and music. Nothing can replace 4 part harmony, no matter how hard churches have tried..
My blessings on this Singing School
I think I like what I see here.
Am presently a music student in a private music school. I like your robust course content
