Music Evangelism (Elective)

“The aim and final reason of all music should be nothing else but the glory of God and the refreshment of the spirit.” Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)

Overview

SEMESTER 2: This builds on the foundations laid in The Worship Musician, with a focus on creating and capturing memorable worship experiences. Live performance skills are further developed in band masterclasses with students curating their own worship tour at the end of the semester. Music Evangelism encourages students to enrichen their faith through the expression of worship on their instrument and in collaboration with other musicians. Song writing is further explored in a tour of Planetshakers music studios (or other Christian music studio) where students get a behind the scenes look at how cutting edge Christian music is written, produced and sent out throughout the world.

“Praise the Lord, Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord” Psalm 150
