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.
