THE CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY OF MUSIC

Aesthetics is an integral part of life. God Himself wants to be glorified through both artistic and musical expression. However, integrating the Bible with the school’s music curriculum goes deeper than merely quoting Bible verses which refer to music. It involves finding the musical facts and principles, which are taught in the Bible, and incorporating them into the teaching process. They are then relevant to the subject at hand, thereby consolidating truth gained from the Bible study and from observations by man. All truth is God’s truth. Students must be trained to carefully and objectively study God’s word. While the Bible is not a music book, it does touch on areas of music. Helping our students to think critically and constructively from a Bible-based Christian world view should be a major concern. We must always remember that the major scriptural function of music is for the praise and worship of God. Students and teachers must be engaged in both the study of music and the study of the Bible for this kind of integration to take place. Christian schoolteachers need to search for ways to involve pupils in learning music from Biblical world and life view. It is our prayer that the instruction preceding it, as well as the actual music festival will reflect the efforts of the teacher. OBJECTIVES 1. To exalt our Lord Jesus Christ in the use of musical talent.

1. To encourage students to share in the ministry of music for the glorification of God in and beyond the classroom. 2. To provide an opportunity for Christian school students to benefit from the evaluation of a qualified adjudicator and distinguished guest conductors.

3. To provide opportunities for fellowship with students from other Christian schools with a similar interest.
