“This school is dedicated to the furtherance of Southern Gospel Music and to raising the standard of musical excellence in an art form. We believe the way to do this is to offer a well-rounded course of study. We want our students to be able to read it, write it, sing it and perform it. With a comprehensive understanding of music theory, where both live and recorded performances will improve.” – Ben Speer

We are a non-denominational gospel singing school.  We have students attend from all faiths and some that do not attend church at all.  Christian values and living is encouraged while you are on campus as a  Guest of MTSU.  The purpose of the school is not evangelism nor is it part of the school’s curriculum.  While you are here, our goal is to provide an environment to learn the encompassing parts of the Southern Gospel music style that helps you deliver the message in a gospel song.
