Annual Singing school it is very important event for the church in Russia. Every year members of many congregations gather together for one week to gain confidence in singing and song-leading, to sing together, and to praise the Lord. The Singing School have several areas of focus:
1. Introducing the new songs.
2. Multi-voiced choir singing.
3. Teaching the fundamentals of music.
4. Teaching the fundamentals of song-leading.
Singing School preparations always take a lot of time and energy. We try our best to create a comfortable environment for each participant, although this is not— of course— our main goal. We strive to give each person who comes to the Singing School essential music theory foundation, singing skills, and spiritual enrichment. Also, the students should have the opportunity to put all of this into practice. In our devotional times we read from Jesus’ parables, the apostles’ sermons in Acts, and from the Psalms.
We have an excellent team of instructors.
