The time has come for Nashville and Christian music to have a school that will give in-depth relevant training to future Worship Pastors and Christian artists.
The National Praise and Worship Institute (NPWI) at Trevecca Nazarene University will meet that need and open its doors this summer with its first class.
I’ve reviewed this unique two-year program and believe that it is both solid in its well-rounded approach, and progressive in that every student will be in a band.
I’m excited to share that I will be teaching and coaching at NPWI and my book Tom Jackson’s Live Music Method has been adopted as part of the curriculum. In addition, many well-known Nashville based musicians and songwriters will be instructors.
If God is calling you into Worship Ministry, or if you need grounding as a Christian artist, then I recommend you give the National Praise and Worship Institute a very serious look.
Greetings from Macon, GA. What if you have no extra income after the bills can’t afford instruction and your live out of state?
Tom, sounds like you’re interested in learning – I hope you’re able to make something like this a priority and work out a budget that eventually allows you to get the instruction you want. In the meantime, you should contact the school and see if they have any scholarships available… you never know!
