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 coursework, 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.
