Opportunities for Development and Enrichment
Area and State Keyboard Festivals are hosted by the Worship & Music Ministry office in January and February of each year. The purpose of the Area and State Keyboard Festivals are listed below.
Musically…
- To promote the learning and playing of keyboard instruments for the purpose of supporting and leading heartfelt worship.
- To provide an opportunity for strengthening of skills through competition and recognition.
- To provide keyboard teachers across the state of Oklahoma with incentive to teach excellence in keyboard playing.
Spiritually…
- To undergird the worship ministry of the local church by developing experienced musicians.
For some students, hymns are not a regular part of worship in their churches. For some students, hymns are a cornerstone in worship. These festivals provide an avenue for all students to develop a love of hymns and to gain an understanding of the hymn-texts. Through this exposure to hymns, we hope students will grow a deeper relationship with Christ. The ministry provided through playing in church, accompanying congregational singing, and leading in worship services has eternal significance.
A complete booklet with information and registration forms is available by October 15th. If you are on last year’s list you should receive a booklet no later than October 20, 2011. If not, please call the Worship & Music Ministry Office at 405-942-3800, ext 4650 or email Patricia Farewell at pfarewell@bgco.org.
