'RAISE THE SONG: A Classical Christian Guide to Music Education'
Now Available in Amazon Kindle Digital Format
Thank you, as always, for reading Musically Speaking. In 2019, for those who may not know, I had the opportunity to collaborate and work on a book project for the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). ACCS President
approached me about contributing to a music education project he wanted for the ACCS. I had a few questions for him, and the next thing I knew, I was editing the book for them. Here’s book matter from the back of the book:With technology, music has never been more constant. It is heard on phones and in waiting rooms, in coffee shops and on television. Despite such exposure, the number of people able to make music for themselves is dwindling. Classical Christian schools have a unique motivation to remedy this. Building a musically literate culture is foundational for the cultivation of beauty and the worship of God. Where better to start a generational overhaul than with classrooms full of our littlest worshipers?
The options for music training are many, but not equal. This book is designed to help the school administrator or music teacher sift through the pile and emerge with a vision and tools for building a flourishing classical Christian music program.
‘Raise the Song’ in Kindle Format

Speaking at the ACCS Conference Next Week
Lastly, I will speak and lead the morning singing at the ACCS Repairing the Ruins Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the end of next week. The title of my session is “More than a Garnish: The Centrality of Music in Classical Christian Education.” It’s always a refreshing time of fellowship and encouragement for me. If you are one of the 1,000 or so attendees who are usually there, be sure to find me in the halls or at the New Saint Andrews College booth. I’d love to visit with you.
