Pennsylvania Gospel Music Singing School

We are a Christian shaped-note singing school planning to hold our next session from July 12th-17th, 2026 at Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church. Anyone ages eight and up is welcome! Our objective is to honor God by teaching students to glorify Him through song with excellence. We strive to preserve the heritage of congregational four-part singing by teaching people to read music proficiently and by singing hymns and Gospel songs as a group. We will practice sight-reading, study music theory, and sing hymns and Gospel songs. Students will learn in classes divided by level, practice in sectionals with their voice parts, and learn songs in one big group.
