Register today for our June 22, 2024 Singing School!
Training and Coaching Song Leaders and Worshipers in the Art of Congregational, A Cappella Singing.
At the Tennessee Singing School, we envision every congregation equipped with educated worshipers and worship leaders to edify the saints.
Come join us June 22, 2024 on the campus of Freed-Hardeman University (Henderson, Tennessee) and be equipped, educated, and edified!
Singing is for Christians. Ephesians 5:19 describes singing as the outcome of a Spirit-filled life. In God's view, there's no such thing as a Christian who doesn't sing; spiritual people sing. Singing, like any thing we do, comes more naturally to some than others, but everyone benefits from training and coaching. In fact, many activities we don't enjoy are those that we've never taken the time to learn how to appreciate and participate in them. Tennessee Singing School is for Christians who want to grow in the appreciation of worship and singing.
In 2024 we will offer:
While the Tennessee Singing School is a recent endeavor (2024), it has deep roots in other Singing Schools and our many of our faculty members have been working together in other successful programs for many years, particularly the Texas Normal Singing School. It's been a long time coming, but churches in Tennessee have petitioned us to expand our efforts to include a new training program in the Volunteer State.
We exist to serve the church to equip her with leaders and worshipers. A cappella, congregational singing is a science, an art, and a spiritual discipline; we believe that it's worth our time, treasure, and effort to educate, edify, and encourage the mind, heart, and spirit to worship in increasing knowledge, sentiment, and theological richness.
We are not an alternative to an university degree in music and we will not be endlessly drilling over music theory. Over seven decades we, and those who came before us, have fine-tuned these methods to teach the practical and essential skills necessary for a leader to be musically, relationally, and spiritually successful and for all worshipers to know their parts, have an awareness of followership, form their minds and hearts to appreciate the tools employed in worship.
Our faculty are all members of local congregations of the Churches of Christ, each of them contributing as worship leaders, ministers, deacons, and shepherds. This year's Tennessee Singing School faculty is composed of Mike Dozier, Jesse Eaton, Robin Entrekin, Levi Sisemore, and James Tackett.
Once you have registered on our website, we'll be preparing for your arrival on June 22, 2024 at Freed-Hardeman University. Upon arrival at the FHU campus, make your way to Old Main, a landmark campus building. Check-in, classes, and chapel will take place in Old Main.
TnSS classes are designed to be practical. In a one-day school, we’re emphasizing skills and fundamentals. Everyone will have class in Music Theory, Sight Singing (shaped notes), and track classes in Song Leading or Singer’s Workshop.

TnSS classes are designed to be practical. In a one-day school, we’re emphasizing skills and fundamentals. Everyone will have class in Music Theory, Sight Singing (shaped notes), and track classes in Song Leading or Singer’s Workshop. Students in short, one-day programs like this should not expect to master their new skills immediately, but these lessons will introduce all of the theory and skills to develop a person into a capable congregational singer/leader.
We're still working out the exact schedule for June 22, but we'll post it ASAP for your convenience.
We'll have plenty of time for singing together, both as organized activities and spontaneously. Sing your heart out (but don't wear your voice out)!
Our last activity together will be a student-led singing chapel where the songleading students will showcase their skills and the Singer's Workshop will perform the songs they have worked on during the school.
The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations. Don’t miss out!
