The Chenaniah Summer Music Institute was founded in 2017 with a vision to assist musicians and music educators in their abilities to train a generation of musicians in our schools and churches. The Chenaniah Summer Music Institute offers three tracks each summer: Kodály Music, String Pedagogy, and Advanced Conducting Tracks.

Who Should Attend CSMI?

The course is designed for the musician/music educator or those further desiring training and equipping in teaching and advancing music literacy in their churches, schools, and communities.
