Beliefs about Music Matter-part 2
The only completely safe
teacher of Christian music education and music philosophy is the Holy Spirit
who is capable and willing to guide Christian
musicians into “all truth” (John 16:19) which of course includes music education in this century.
Although a Christian may make appropriate personal choices and have personal
preferences concerning music, there are absolutes concerning music and its
place in a Christian’s life. Therefore, a prescriptive Christian music
education philosophy must be built on
Bible principles of musicing, profundity, appropriateness, and standards of
correctness. There is room for taste in music in the life of a Christian, but
the use of music is not entirely a
matter of personal taste. All of a Christian’s music and musicing must be
guided by Bible principles of musicing.
All of a Christiaan’s
musical doing must be congruent with the principles of living out the changed life of a Christian
that are taught in the Bible. Certainly,
living a changed life will affect how a musician musics.
