Introduction
The Church Music Program seeks:

• To provide collegiate study and training for the serious-minded
   student and some music classes and opportunities on an elective
   basis for non-music majors

• To supply churches with dedicated, qualified men and women
   trained and equipped to serve God in church music positions

• To increase proficiency in private music skills

• To provide the necessary groundwork for further study in music   

Music students are required to choose a major and minor area of study in private instruction.  Areas offered include piano, vocal, instrumental, and songleading, and music education.

Students will participate in semester recitals, and a senior recital in the major performance area is required during the last semester preceding graduation.
