The Undergraduate Certificate in 教堂音乐 is designed to develop and refine your skills as a church musician. No matter where your interest lies, Shenandoah’s certificate program will provide you the viable option to pursue it 专业ly.
谢南多厄音乐学院’s 教会音乐学院 is held for two weeks each summer as part of a three-year cycle of intensive study of the skills and knowledge required of a musician working in the church. Each summer focuses on a different aspect of music ministry: liturgical organ playing, 进行(成人, children’s and handbell choirs) and congregational song (hymns and liturgy).
We’ll equip you to be a well-rounded church musician with the knowledge and skills to direct music programs for various Christian denominations. We’ll enhance your abilities in performance and conducting, and give you an understanding of historical and contemporary practices in church music and liturgy. We’ll also explore non-musical aspects of music ministry: program building and administration, staff relations and other components of a successful program.
Because the coursework for this program is covered during the summer, the certificate is a perfect adjunct to other related degree programs: performance (organ, 钢琴或声音), music education or conducting.
