“I am already seeing the fruit of studying worship arts just a week out of school. I’m grateful for the professors who have poured into me. I’m grateful for my training.”

“Hearing from professors and guest lecturers who are doing the job that we as students are aspiring to do soon was relevant and helpful. Being on the album is one of the highlights of my college experience.”

“Bethel provided many advantages in my educational training that I am grateful for. Professors and advisors took a keen interest in students’ lives to help personalize the experience and set students up for success. I was able to be involved in multiple performance groups at a time. Upon graduating, I found that Bethel students have a great reputation among the community and was quickly plugged into the Penn Harris Madison School Corporation.”

“My time at Bethel solidified me as a confident and independent musician. Smaller class sizes and multiple ensembles gave me so many performance opportunities I was rehearsing and performing every day. This helped me develop a work and practice ethic I still carry with me today. I’m thankful for the guidance I received from the faculty who gave me the attention I needed to grow in all areas as a holistic musician.”

“My time at Bethel was a special and pivotal moment in my life. I owe so much to my professors who were always supportive and kind; most importantly, they valued me as a person first. I studied vocal performance and was able to participate in several musical groups – both vocal and instrumental – and the education I received helped lay down the foundation for my future career as a Navy musician. As a music student, I learned how to sing in different styles and that has served me well as I have to be able to sing pop, musical theater, country, operetta/opera/legit, and big patriotic choral pieces in the Navy and learn it quickly. Bethel taught me the value of teamwork, compassion, reaching your goals, and spiritual toughness. I am truly grateful for my time at Bethel!”

“Bethel has provided me a one-on-one experience with my education to help me create a career out of my passion as well as foster lifelong connections that I will always cherish. Bethel overall was a time of growth and direction.”

“I absolutely loved my time with the Bethel music department! Throughout my time there, I made so many memories and lifelong friends. The professors not only pushed me to be my best, but they also cared about my personal growth.”

“Thanks to the leadership of Bethel’s intelligent and compassionate faculty, I was supported in both my musical and spiritual growth all four years. Upon graduation, I felt prepared to begin my master’s as a Graduate Assistant at West Virginia University. Bethel shaped me into the person, musician and teacher that I am today.”
