Introduction
Louisiana Christian University’s Department of Music offers students a music education rooted in the liberal arts tradition. Courses are taught by established Christian educators who are also active performers, published authors, church musicians, and pedagogues. The department’s purpose is to lead students to an understanding of themselves through the development of God-given talents. Committed to preparing a new generation of well-rounded musicians, Christian educators, performers, and music ministers, the department offers a unique slate of degree programs designed to fit the career goals of each student. Recent graduates of Louisiana Christian University have either become teachers or have pursued further study in performance, conducting, and church music at well-known institutions and seminaries.
The department also is involved in service. A wide variety of musical performances provides the Central Louisiana area with exposure to cultural, spiritual, and intellectual stimulation. Community members are welcomed by the department as performers in both instrumental and vocal ensembles.
