Music at Bethany
Vocal Choirs
All of our Vocal choirs are directed by

ready to welcome new members into the groups. We put on a fabulous 2007 Christmas Pageant which included many of our vocal groups.

Bethany Academy of Music
The Musikgarten Early Childhood Movement and Music classes are the central focus of the Music Academy. The goal of the Academy is to provide quality music and movement education for children and their families regardless of their financial status with tuition assistance being available for those who just ask. An example is the God's Children Sing program for ages 4-6 years which meets on Wednesdays from 5:15 to 6:00pm. This music program is available to ALL and led by Karen McIver
