Course Overview

In this class, students will learn the key elements of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, chords, scales, intervals, and more) and how these elements work together to create songs. Students will also learn how to read and write basic music notation by studying classic worship songs like Jesus Loves Me, God is So Good, and others. The goal is to teach kids how to glorify God by writing their own worship songs.
