Welcome to SGMSA!

 

June 28 - July 9, 2010

Southern Adventist University - Collegedale, TN

 
 
Southern Gospel Music School of America (SGMSA) is dedicated to the
preservation of and continued education in the American musical art form
known as Southern Gospel.  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.
 
 
Daily schedule:
Day classes – Begin at 8:00am ~ Night classes – Begin at 6:00pm

with them on campus (to supervise them outside of class).
 
Instruction will be offered at all levels from the very beginner
