Past Learners Said…
“This course tackled many items that are not usually in a sacred musician’s job description. It was helpful to hear others’ perspectives on many of these related topics.”
“I liked the way the course was adaptable to my particular circumstances.”
“I’ve gained a greater ease in communicating my views, and have a stronger foundation for understanding them.”
“I liked the final project as it leaned into the course material, but allowed us to use our own personality and history.”
