Worship Requirements

Admission

Program application is required for all prospective worship

students before admission into the worship program. The purpose

of the audition is to evaluate your potential success as a worship

student and whether you will be admitted to the department to

pursue a worship degree. Guidelines for the audition can be found

at

cedarville.edu/worship

.

Private Lessons

All worship students are required to take private lessons.

Students should study the instrument for which they are most

proficient in order to improve their skills. Earnest practice is

expected and mandatory for your success. Juries are required for

each student taking private lessons.

Ensembles

All worship students are required to participate in an ensemble

every semester that they are on campus.

Worship Forum

All worship students are required to participate in Worship

Forum every semester that they are on campus. The Forum is

designed to help address topics not easily addressed in class, to

build community between worship students, and to allow students

to work on projects and services together. The class is for zero

credit and requirements will be given to you each semester.

First-Year Review

All entering students are admitted into the worship program on

a conditional basis. At the end of the first year, students will be

asked to complete and submit information that will be combined

with their first year grades, recommendations, and private lesson

reviews to determine the potential success of each student in

upper-level course work, field experience, internships, and as

future worship leaders. The worship faculty members will meet

during the week following graduation to evaluate each student’s

information and make final recommendations regarding the future

of the student’s ability to continue in the worship program.

Second-Year Review

The members of the worship faculty will evaluate students’

progress since the first-year review to see that the students are

adequately moving toward completion of their degree programs.

Worship Student Handbook

is the authoritative statement

on all departmental policy as it applies to the student. Each

worship student is responsible for following the policies and

procedures contained in both the handbook and the University

catalog. The handbook can be found online at
