Sacred Music

What is Sacred Music and does it belong in our educational system?

       Sacred music was written for church services, for worship and has a deep religious context.  Some of the most cutting edge music of the time, it was also used for educational purposes.  Teaching students of instrumental and vocal legacy.  It was the first music to be transcribed and because of that, we have no choice but to learn from it.  We have seen the benefits of music education in our schools and research in the field.  Sacred music is a vital part of that tradition.  To leave it out would be handing our younger generations and incomplete education.
