Sacred Music
Certificate of Achievement
Curriculum Code: 0835 (Effective Fall 2001 - Summer 2006)
The Certificate program in Sacred Music is designed for those individuals
interested in or already practicing music at their place of worship, and who wish
to further develop their basic musical skills. Emphasis is on integrating
fundamental knowledge of music theory and keyboard with stylistic and practical
skills generally required of sacred musicians. Course work also includes private
performance studies (typically in organ, piano, voice, or guitar), religious
studies, and ensemble experience.
This is a selective admissions program. In order to be considered as a candidate
for this program, students must meet basic admission requirements beyond those
required for admission to the college.
