“I loved Alliance University’s School of Music! The classes offered for music in worship students were thorough. Some were very practical, like Church Music Administration and Choral Conducting. Some trained me to be a better musician, like Ear Training, Theory, and Voice. I can honestly say that all of them were fun! I’ve used so many things I learned at Alliance  over the past year while working in my church’s worship department.”
