Philosophy

PURPOSE

To train students in the basics of music academically:
to learn notes, chords, scales, rhythm, sightreading, aural training, classical scores, hymn playing, playing by ear, playing by chord, improvising, intervals, fingering, theory, writing music, and arranging music.

To train students to know the music emotionally:
to feel the music, to learn dynamics, phrasing, different touches, and pedaling.

To train students to use the music as a spiritual avenue to worship God:
to learn hymn playing, spiritual songs, to focus on the message of the music itself, and to have a standard of excellence.
