Overview

While the Church Music major at Concordia University, St. Paul enjoys all of the features of the Music program in general, the Church Music major has the following more specific features:

there are organ, choral, piano, guitar, instrumental, composition, and generalist tracks, thus equipping students to lead both traditional liturgies and contemporary worship formats.

each track shares the core musicianship (music theory/analysis/writing/ear-training/keyboard harmony) and music history courses. Private lessons and ensembles applicable to each track are also part of the core.

each track has specialized courses, culminating in a senior project/recital in the track.

the program culminates in a two-credit internship in a church (done while the student is attending school) in a metro area church.
