Passing Our Music Values on to the Next Generation – Part 7

Passing Our Music Values on to the Next Generation – Part 7

            Next to the Christian home in influence is the Christian school.  Music education must be a preferred claim on our Christian school budgets.  The fine arts always cost.  In the history of the Christian schools, Christian liberal arts and Bible colleges they have not completely paid for themselves.  Many times music is included in Christian school and college curriculums for public relations efforts, student recruitment and money raising purposes only.

            Every Christian school and Bible College student must be given an opportunity to develop a Bible based music philosophy and to experience music making from the basis of a Christocentric music philosophy.  Therefore, Christian school and Bible College Music Departments are not a luxury but rather a necessity if traditional church music is going to survive the first part of the twenty-first century.
