The Southern Gospel Music School of America will hold a two-week music school June 30-July 11 on the campus of Tennessee Temple University, according to County Commission Chairman Bill Hullander, who is president of the Southern Gospel Music School of America.
He said the Southern Gospel Music School of America is dedicated to the preservation of and continued education in the American musical art form known as Southern Gospel.
Mr. Hullander said, "Students attending SGMSA will more fully develop their God-given musical abilities. SGMSA uses the shape-note system of music and desires for its students to be able to read music, sing music, write music, and love music.
"Everyone tends to love things more as they become more proficient in them. It is our goal to make an impact not only on individual students, but on the church choirs, school choirs, and communities to which the students belong."
He said in a letter to area churches, "I encourage you to send at least three or four people from your church to the music school. You will 'not' be disappointed. The school is open to all ages; however, we ask that any student age 7 or younger have a parent or guardian with them to supervise them outside of class."
An informational meeting will be Thursday, April 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the WDYN Radio Station, 1800 block of Bailey Avenue in Chattanooga.
