Mark your calendar now for next year! We start the evening of Sunday, June 16, 2019.
Join Us for the 2019 Session of CVSGM!
Our goal is to help you develop your God-given gifts and abilities, to enjoy singing and playing gospel music, and take that love of gospel music back to your home church.
CVSGM has a rich tradition as one of the oldest and best summer singing school experiences in the country. We specialize in teaching music theory through shape note reading and solfege.
