Why choose Church Music at GBSC?
The BA degree gives you two options:
- Performance track
- Non-performance track
Graduates went off to be a
- church music director
- church worship leader
- church pianist / organist
- song evangelist

Performance Track
The Performance track is designed for the student who plans to proceed directly into a church music program, give elementary through advanced applied instruction, and/or enter a graduate program in church music.
Performance track students have the opportunity to prepare and perform in both half and senior solo recitals.
The program contains limited method courses, and thus, does not fully prepare the candidate to teach music in a Christian school.
