Uraian Tempat

The School of Church Music has a long tradition as the first and largest school in the United States devoted specifically to the study and performance of church music. Upon its move to Fort Worth in 1910, Southwestern Seminary began offering courses in hymnology and vocal and instrumental instruction. Soon more systematic musical training was established under the guidance of I. E. Reynolds, an Alabama native who had studied briefly at Mississippi College and Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. The purpose of the School of Church Music at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is to provide graduate professional education in church music for individuals engaged in Christian ministry. It seeks to provide skillful music leadership for churches, colleges, denominational agencies and mission fields. Contributions are made by the school to the knowledge of the church music field through performances, research, writing and music composition. The School of Church Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music and it is also a member of the Texas Association of Music Schools. As a unit of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, the School of Church Music is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. As one of five schools at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, the School of Church Music provides an environment that is spiritually challenging, emotionally encouraging and musically rewarding. Among the seminary's almost 3,000 students from across the United States and around the world, students here make lifelong friends that share their passion for ministry and who will provide lifelong encouragement. Music students represent a variety of denominations and musical traditions, and international students constitute a significant and vital portion of the student body.
