Introduction The mission of the ACU Music Department is to prepare musicians for service and leadership throughout the world. A dedicated and talented faculty work with students in a caring, Christian environment. They teach and mentor in the classroom and studio using a wealth of experience gained from their performing, conducting, teaching, and composing careers. The faculty assists students in becoming outstanding performers, teachers, conductors, composers, and leaders in the music industry who reflect God’s creative force and presence in their music and lives. To accomplish this mission, the music department has established four primary objectives: 1. To develop and inspire students artistically as comprehensive musicians; 2. To prepare students to teach capably and effectively in the school and studio; 3. To provide training and direction for students who desire to perform professionally or who wish to utilize their music degree in the music industry; and 4. To guide and encourage young musicians in seeking ways to live a Christ-centered life and be a Christian role-model within the music profession. ACU music graduates combine their love of music with a variety of careers including music sales, instrument repair, school administration, worship ministry, musical theater and performance. They are teaching in their own private studios, composing scores for film, managing retail music stores, tuning and repairing pianos, testing musical instruments, writing and recording commercial jingles, managing touring musical
