About Concentration
Music performance students have the opportunity to acquire mastery of their chosen discipline, receiving one-on-one training in voice or instrument. Students learn the discipline and value of skill development along with a biblical heart posture to serve the Body of Christ.
Testimonial
–Kristoffer Ivey
“The Concentration in Performance in FSW has shaped me into not just being a better musician, but also one who gets to know the Lord and ask Him about His heart in scripture. In being able to know His heart more, it has given me the boldness to communicate His intentions through my instrument with better understanding and intentionality. I have never been around a group of people who love the Lord and His Word while also pursuing excellence and fluency in their instruments followed by being obedient to the Lord in communicating it.“
