Berklee Gospel Music Workshop

Posted by Kevan Breitinger May 31, 2006

Go to Boston this summer to study gospel styles for voice, piano, keyboard, and organ at the Summer Gospel Workshop. This intensive four-day program will help choir members and instrumentalists develop repertoire, performance, and conducting skills in the genre of gospel. This summer's workshop will also include contemporary Christian ensembles.

Although the tradition of gospel pedagogy for musicians/choir members dates back about 200 years, it is only recently that advances have been made in the teaching of gospel music. The Summer Gospel Workshop is designed to give all musicians a foundation in gospel music. The teachers will focus on developing harmonic and rhythmic skills. Check out Gospel-flava for more info.
