HANDS-ON LEARNING

The Ball Institute for Church Music partners with local churches so that Carson-Newman students can be integrally involved in the music ministry of a local church. Many students find the experience so rewarding that they choose to keep their placements for more than one year. Frequently, students also lead worship for one of the campus ministry organizations or serve on C-N’s chapel committee and so help plan and lead chapel services for the entire campus community.
